2nd Biennial Footprint International Print Competition 2010
A competition and exhibition for fine-art prints that are exactly one foot square.

Entry Deadline: Apr 02, 2010
Prospectus at: www.contemprints.org

Footprint International 2010 presents an opportunity for contemporary printmakers worldwide to address the square in a 12- inch by 12-inch (30.5 x 30.5 cm) format. The square format was uncommon in art until the advent of 20th-century abstraction. Rectangular horizontal and vertical shapes for landscape and portraiture, respectively, were, and in fact still are, the norm. Composing in the square is an artistic challenge.

Drawings, photographs, or direct reproductions are not eligible. Art must be hand-pulled and generated on stone, block, or plate using printing processes. Computer generated art is eligible only if it incorporates other methods of hand-pulled printing or handwork.

Through March 6: “ECHO, Repetitive Marks & Images”
