COMPETITION

The call for entries for the 85th Annual International Competition: Printmaking will be available here early fall 2010. Please check back.

“Being selected a winner in The Print Center’s photo competition has led to amazing things for my work and career. As a result of entering the competition my work was selected for a solo show at The Print Center. I could never, ever have predicted what sending one image into the competition would lead to. I entered this competition on a whim and it has led to two solo shows and an incredible amount of exposure for my work.” - Amy Stein

About the Competition
The Print Center’s Annual International Competition is one of the most prestigious and oldest juried exhibitions in the United States. Alternating yearly between printmaking and photography, it provides a unique opportunity for local, national and international artists to compete in a forum which emphasizes individual talent and expressiveness rather than a specific exhibition topic.

If you are not already a member, your entry fee to the competition entitles you to a one-year membership to The Print Center.
