‘It’s a Beautiful World’, 20th February 2014
Submission Details
The ‘It’s a Beautiful World’ Exhibition celebrates the beauty in our everyday world of
medicine, healthcare and science. For some, it may be the beauty of an electron
microscopy image; for others it may be the smile of a patient just finished chemotherapy
or of a mother holding her newborn baby. The ‘Natural History’ section relates to images
of the natural sciences.
This is a big and diverse undertaking and we need your help and support.
The first thing to do is to let us know if you plan to enter by completing the
Registration form at the end of this document and emailing to: jenningsgallery@ucc.ie.

Will all entries be accepted?
A Jennings Gallery Committee will review all submissions. Submissions may not be
accepted if they are totally unrelated to the theme or are of very poor standard or
offensive.
In the event of the exhibition being oversubscribed, entrants who submit more than one
piece will be asked to select which of their 2 pieces they wish to include in the
exhibition.
What is the deadline for receipt of submissions?
The deadline is 7th February 2014.
What about Framing?
All pieces must be framed by the artist. Marcus Framing can advise on ‘It’s a Beautiful
