Entries ready to be unwrapped at the Koestler Arts Centre WILL MY NAME bE SHOWN WITH MY ARTWORK? •

You and the member of staff signing your form can opt for first name only or ‘Anonymous’. We will make your first name public only if (i) you are aged 18 or over and (ii) we have signed permission on the entry form, both from you and from an authorised member of staff (see ‘How do I enter?’ for definition). Please think carefully about having your first name shown, especially if it may identify you as an offender to relatives, employers or the press. We cannot accept responsibility for any repercussions. You and the authorised member of staff who signs your entry form should consider if there are sensitivities around your name being published next to your artwork, particularly around victims of a crime or heightened media profile. Don’t sign your artwork with your full name, put it on the back of your work or otherwise reference it in the entry. If you do, we may need to remove it before exhibition or may not be able to display your work.
Koestler sales are for visual arts and crafts. We will sell your work only if we have permission from you and (if you are in a secure setting) from your establishment. We sell most work at our exhibitions and some work at the Koestler Art Centre (our building next to HMP Wormwood Scrubs). If your work does not sell, we will return it to you. We keep back a small selection of work to sell on our website and at other events during the year. We will tell you if your work is selected. Any work unsold from this selection will be returned by September 2015. Proceeds from every sale are divided as follows:50% for you, the artist; 25% as a donation to Victim Support, the national charity for people affected by crime; 25% to help the work of the Koestler Trust (registered charity no.1105759). These percentages will be altered slightly if your work is sold on the web, so as to pay for the administration of the website. You should set the minimum amount you’d like to receive considering time spent and materials used. We’ll then make the sales price double this. The lowest amount you can receive is £7.50 (sales price £15) the highest amount is £250 (sales price £500). As a guide, most of our artwork sells for £50-£100, with some pieces in the UK exhibition selling for higher. If we think you’ve asked for too little, we’ll price it higher. If you indicate that you’d like to receive more than £250 we’ll be unable to sell it and it will be marked ‘not for sale’. If you indicate no amount on the entry form, we’ll assign the price we think is suitable.
HOW WILL I GET ANY MONEY FROM PRIzES OR SALES? SCOTLAND ONLY: Artists in Scottish prisons are aware that they cannot directly benefit from the sale of their artwork, as the artwork has been made using state funded materials. If an artist does agree that their work can be sold, the monies raised will be placed in the ‘common good fund’ of the establishment where the artist is currently located. An artist can of course choose not to sell, or to donate their work. This does not affect any potential prize money, which the artist will receive. • • •
We issue prize money in October and money from sales in December. If you are in a prison or secure setting, we send the money in a cheque to your establishment. The finance staff will credit it to your private cash. If you are not in custody we can issue a cheque in your name or to someone you specify, or you can collect cash from the Koestler Arts Centre, as long as you let us know beforehand.
ARTS MENTORING OPPORTuNITIES If you would like help from a Koestler Mentor to develop your artwork we have two different mentoring pathways offering unique and bespoke support to people who have been involved in the criminal justice system. You can apply to be matched with a mentor who will work with you on a one-to-one basis to identify your artistic goals (e.g. applying to college, creating new work, building your confidence or accessing local arts resources) and receive support, through regular meetings, to achieve them. Koestler Mentors are experienced artists, writers, producers and craftspeople who have received special training to provide support to someone who has been involved in the criminal justice system. Gateway Mentoring Under this new pathway, you do not have to be a Koestler Award-winner to receive support from a mentor – just committed to developing your artwork. Your mentor will provide you with support over a fixed period of time and you will have up to seven mentoring sessions.
HOW WILL MY ENTRY bE RETuRNED?
Koestler Scholarships Scholarship Awards are designed to support Koestler Award-winners who have created a body of work and who would like to further develop their practice, or expand their arts knowledge, in the community or in custody. To be considered for a Koestler Scholarship you must be committed to receiving up to 10 mentoring sessions over the course of 12 months.
You or your establishment can really help us keep costs down by coming to collect your work. Please let us know beforehand so we can have it ready. Apart from a few exceptions, Writing, Performance, Audio and Film entries will not be returned. Please only send copies.
If you are interested in either of our mentoring opportunities tick the box on the entry form. We will then send you details about both pathways and an application form. Alternatively you can contact our Outreach & Involvement team for more information.

We pack all artwork carefully for its return journey. If you are in a secure setting, we will return your work there, usually to the Education Department. If you are in the community, we will return your work by post, as long as you tell us your address on the entry form. We can no longer deliver work to family members or friends of entrants in prison. If your entry is very large, heavy, valuable or fragile, we may need it to be collected in person - please ring us to discuss. We cannot return artwork outside of the UK. Artwork left unclaimed or donated for more than one year may be destroyed, sold or donated to other organisations.

One of our aims at the Koestler Trust is to demonstrate that the arts are beneficial to offenders, secure patients and detainees. We need evidence to show to funders and policy makers. You can help us by agreeing for us to share your personal details with researchers. The researchers will use your details only for the research; they will not keep any information about you after the research is completed, and the published research will never identify individuals. We would be very grateful if you agreed to help with this by ticking the box on page two of the entry form.
