Rules & FAQ

FORMAT PORTFOLIO REVIEW 2023 Rules & FAQ’s

BOOKING SYSTEM

Our bespoke booking system enables you to choose the Reviewers you want to see at the time you want to see them. It is a first come first serve basis. You can view and select the slots you want. To avoid the system crashing and a slot being available one minute and unavailable the next, we have put in place a queuing system. 5 people will be able to access the system at a time, and once your slots have been chosen, you will have 10 minutes to complete the transaction. Please note, your reviews are not confirmed until you have paid. Those in the queue will be told their place in the queue.

The booking system will not allow you to book with the same Reviewer twice or book 2 reviews at the same time. If an error message occurs, please check the slots chosen.

WHO CAN ENTER?

These Reviews are aimed at photographers (or multimedia artists) with a developed and serious approach to their practice. Recent graduates are welcome. Please contact Seb at sebahc@derbyquad.co.uk for any queries.

HOW CAN I ENTER?

Bookings will open soon. When open, you can book by clicking on ‘BOOK NOW‘. 

PAYMENT

Payment is made via Patronbase, our dedicated booking system and accept all major credit and debit cards.

VENUE

The Portfolio Review will take place online.

REFUND POLICY

There is a NO REFUND policy and reviews are NON TRANSFERABLE. Once you book, your reviews are final.  We advise you look through the Reviewers and make a list of at least 20 that you would like to see, in the order you would like to see them so that you are prepared when you book.

In the case that a Reviewer has had to cancel due to unforeseen circumstances, we will make every effort to assign you with another Reviewer. FORMAT cannot be held accountable for this and will not offer a refund.
