1) Who can join the 'Take One Picture' scheme?
Any nursery, first, infant, junior, primary or middle school (but only work by children up to and including Year 6 will be considered for the 'Take One Picture' exhibition).

  2) Is it a competition?
No, 'Take One Picture' is not a competition. There are no rules and no criteria other than that the work submitted must be by foundation or primary age children, and that it is the work of a whole class or a whole school (rather than that of individuals). The National Gallery welcomes work in any curriculum area, not just art. Previous participants in the scheme frequently comment that the process itself is the reward. See work from previous years.		  
   
  3) How do I submit work?
You will be asked to send in a submission by 3 November 2008. Submissions need to be a record of work completed or work in progress, but no original work should be sent. Submissions can take any form, portfolios, planning sheets, video/audio, powerpoint etc. If at all possible images should be included in the submission. Using these submissions, the National Gallery's Education department will select a few schools to visit informally during November/December 2008. One or more schools will be offered the opportunity to exhibit work at the National Gallery in the 'Take One Picture' exhibition in 2009. Schools that are not selected for a visit will be informed by the end of November. Schools offered the chance to take part in the exhibition (as well as those who are not) will be informed early in the new year.

  4) What will the visits be like?
The school visits by National Gallery staff are not inspections! Gallery staff need to be able to see and film or photograph the work and if possible have a member of staff or children involved in the project to guide them. Because of the great pressure of time involved in travelling around the country, visits cannot be longer than about an hour, nor can the exact time of the visit be guaranteed. Don't worry we do not expect to be fed! We will ask you to sign a form giving the National Gallery permission to reproduce the work filmed or photographed in various formats.		  
   
  5) What happens if our school's work is selected for exhibition?
You will be contacted by the National Gallery's Exhibitions Department who will arrange for the work to be brought to the Gallery. You will also be given the name of a member of the Education team who will be your contact for any enquiries.		  
   
  6) Will we be able to visit the exhibition?
Exhibiting schools will be offered the chance to visit the Gallery (including the exhibition) on two or three designated private view days during the summer term. The National Gallery has a small fund to assist with travel. As there may be several schools involved, we ask you to bring only the children who took part in the project, plus one family member, as well as staff and governors.		  
   
  7) What will the exhibition be like?
The exhibition is normally held in a dedicated room of the National Gallery. As well as work by the chosen schools, there will be a video showing work by all the schools visited by Gallery staff. Admission to the exhibition as well as to the Gallery is free.
