CALL FOR REGISTRATION
The contest is one of the oldest and most distinguished competitions in the United States. Open to local, national and international artists, The Print Center is extremely interested in highlighting the use of photography and/or printmaking in new and intriguing ways, both in content and process.
Any artist who uses photography and/or engraving as fundamental components of her work can participate. Artists whose work pushes the boundaries of traditional photography and printmaking practices are encouraged to participate. 2D and 3D works are eligible.
