THE STUDIO PRIZE COMPETITIONS.

(1) All students at public and private Art Schools and all boni fide amateurs are eligible as competitors. Professional artists and designers are only eligible when competing for designs
of a different class from those on which they are professionally engaged. Thus, an artist employed as designer in a carpet factory might compete in a wall-paper subject, and vice versa.
(2) Designs must be original and not traceable to any existing pattern. New ideas and new treatment combined with workable detail and arrangement will be the objects considered.
(3) Drawings for competitions must be legibly signed with pseudonym only. The form page AD. VII. with details fully filled in, must accompany each drawing or set of drawings, and be enclosed in a sealed envelope, on the outside of which is written only the pseudonym of the com
petitor; as this will not be opened until after the Awards are made, any query should be forwarded in a separate letter.
(4) The Proprietor of The Studio reserves to himself the right of withholding all or any of the prizes, provided that, in

the unanimous opinion of the judges, the drawings do not fulfil the rules of the Competition or otherwise are of insufficient

merit. He also reserves to himself the right to reproduce in The Studio any of the designs submitted.
(5) No design will be returned in any case unless accompanied by sufficient stamps for postage or carriage. The term sufficient postage has been fixed at one shilling — for the Industrial Competitions, Class A — to cover the cost of packing, &-c. Designs for Classes B, C and D will not be returned, unless specially exempted, in such cases the amount to be enclosed for postage will be given.
(6) All designs (unless specially excepted in certain competitions) must be sent rolled, not packed flat. Competitors are advised to forward their drawings within cardboard cylinders (to be obtained of most stationers) or upon wooden rollers, as by
this means the drawings are not liable to damage in transit, and the trouble of repacking is greatly reduced.
(7) All designs and correspondence thereon to be addressed
The Studio, 5 Henrietta Street, Covent Garden, London, W.C., and marked Prize Competitionswith the number 0) the Competition, A XIX,” B XII,” C XI, D II, &c., on the outside of the package, or letter referring to it.
