We are after:

• • Something unique / creative / eye-catching with a good commercial quality.
• • Art that doesn't conflict any copyright or trademark agreements.
• • Read our 'Terms of Use' and 'Design License Agreement' for further information.

Photography/Typography Submissions

• • Work taken on a 12 megapixel camera or greater on the maximum quality setting.
• • In a .JPG or .PNG format. 
• • Initially only send a downsized version of your photograph via our 'Submit Artwork' page. Retain the high resolution original image in the event of your image being chosen. Please do not send images that are taken on a lower quality camera setting or images that have been cropped heavily as the quality will not be good enough for printing and will not be accepted into the competition. After your design is submitted it will go through our internal review. You will receive a confirmation email once your design has been approved.
• • Photography submissions must be taken on a camera of 12 megapixels or higher.

Graphic Design/Typography Submissions

• • A minimum starting size of an A3 document at 300ppi
  - If you are using Photoshop for example: File>New>Preset:International Paper>A3>300pixels/inch
• • In a .JPG or .PNG format. 
• • Initially only send a downsized version of your work via our 'Submit Artwork' page. Retain the high resolution original image in the event of your image being chosen.  Please do not send images that contain smaller images that when blown up will be pixelated or any work that you have blown up to size A3 at 300ppi that was not originally intended to be that size meaning that your work will not be accepted into the competition. After your design is submitted it will go through our internal review. You will receive a confirmation email once your design has been approved.

We ask that there is no date, signature or logo on the artwork. We would then have to crop the artwork and therefore render the work too small to print at large sizes. All artists/prints will be advertised in one way or another by UnknownPrints.

What you get:

If your work is selected to be purchased from our online shop you receive:

• • A percentage of the profits on your artwork, on 40% of the sale price.
• • Peace of mind that we do not own artwork submissions. We only have limited rights for creating our product.

Due to a three week probabtion period once artwork is added to the store - to ensure that the artwork is your own and doesn't conflict with any copyrights - any sold in those first three weeks are added to following quartile should there be an crossover. If for any reason artists are in violation of any copyrights (such as artwork ownership) and the piece of work removed from sale all royalties up to that point will not be paid. Royalties will subsequently be offered to the true owner.

Reasons for Rejection:

• • Copyright / Trademark infringement.
• • Work contains inappropriate/offensive images and/or language. Nudity, Swearing, Adult Themes, etc
• • Artwork needs more work.
  • Image too similar to product already being sold - if we feel it will conflict with sales of a similar print.
• • Quality is too low. Photograph submissions must be 12 megapixels or higher.
• • Duplicate Submission - significant changes required.
• • Themed Submission - work irrelevant to theme.
  • Panoramic/Square images (due to us printing at paper ISO standards, A1, A2 etc). 
  • Date, Signature or Logo is present on the artwork.
• • Doesn't fit with store theme/quality.
• • Borders / Frames - please submit images without a border or frame.

If you are under 18, you must have permission and supervision of a parent or legal guardian who is at least 18 years of age; that adult is responsible for that account.
