Thumbs Up Photography - The Exhibition
EVER WANTED YOUR WORK ON DISPLAY IN AN EXHIBITION?
Read on to find out how you can be part of a fantastic opportunity we are offering!
We are absolutely delighted to announce the very first Thumbs Up Photography Exhibition. We want to offer you the chance to show off your talent, sell your work and most importantly raise money for charity!
We have received the go ahead to exhibit in the foyer of one Birmingham’s most recognisable buildings THREE/SNOWHILL. It couldn’t be any better! Your work will be seen and hopefully purchased by up to 2000k business workers per day. The users of the building work for many major businesses.
WHERE: We have the foyer of the entrance to display our work. TREE/SNOWHILL is a fantastic venue. You can see it here https://www.threesnowhillbirmingham.co.uk/
WHEN: The exhibition will run from Thursday 12th June for around 4 months, plenty of time for you to see your work. We will also be holding a launch event where we will be inviting members of the press and sponsors as well as guests of our two chosen charities MIND and The Disabled Photographers Society.
HOW CAN I GET INVOLVED?: If you decide that you would like to be part of this exciting project you need to use the Google Form (link here) to submit your images. (closing date for submissions - 19th April 2025)
As we have limited space, the organisers are going to choose their favourite images to display.
THEN WHAT?: The Thumbs Up team have been negotiating behind the scenes and we have managed to get a deal with a major printing company who work with exhibitions and are very experienced in this kind of project. If your image(s) are chosen we will ask you to choose the size that you would like to display based upon the following costs.
Once your image(s) have been selected, we will email you details on how to complete your payment.
Please note, all of the costs below are inclusive of print (Permajet archival paper) with border, mount, framed in a black frame, float glass, MDF backing fully assembled and delivered to THREE/SNOWHILL.
COSTS:
The costs have been calculated based on the following:
The initial exhibition pieces are a lot cheaper as we are buying in bulk plus we will handle invoices, payments etc. We have our own bank account and will use the initial admin fee to support the running costs of the event (eCommerce Fees, Delivery, Exhibition Logistics) As well as lay on a launch event.
The initial exhibition cost is the cost to you to have your finished image hung in the exhibition. You have the opportunity to reclaim the print at the end of the exhibition.
Each image will have a card with the title of the image, your name and a QR code. If a customer wants to buy the image they will scan the QR code with their phone which will take them to your image on our website. There they can buy it and pay for it. We will then send the order to the printers who will fulfil the order and send it direct to the customer in a presentation box.
The costs for this are higher but work out like this (using an A3 as an example)
A3 - Selling price £175
Printing cost £77 (inc VAT)
Admin £5
Charity £30
Postage (to customer in a presentation box) £15.60
Profit to you £42.40 (almost your money back plus you have the option to receive your initial framed print back and you have donated £30 to charity).
