  12. WRAPPING: Each artwork is required to be “bubble wrapped” INDIVIDUALLY this is a requirement of the exhibiting body. Please only use a small amount of tape to enclose, as we have to unwrap each one to exhibit, and re-wrap if unsold. Please put a small sticker / label on the OUTSIDE of each wrapped artwork, with your NAME and the TITLE of the artwork, so we can check it off our manifesto. We would also request if you could fit each wrapped artwork in a plastic carry bag, one work per bag, (something like a Coles or other shopping bag) as this will assist in transport and protection of artworks. Do not give us blankets or similar, as they will not be accepted.
