The cost of entering an artwork is $10 per entry – you may enter more than once. The sales price of any artworks will be divided between the Wahroonga Public School P&C and the artist, whereby the P&C will receive 25% of all sales, and the remaining 75% will go to the artist. All unsold works will be returned to the artist.
