4th ANNUAL ‘ON PAPER’ INTERNATIONAL PRINTMAKING AWARD 2018
BRIEF
Each artist can submit one piece of work on a paper size of 300mm x 400mm (30cm x 40cm) or the equivalent 11x17in. The print size can be any within the size of the paper. The work must have been made using any traditional printmaking techniques, including screenprinting, lithography, etching, collagraph, monotipe, electro-etching, woodcut, photopolymer, etc. We also encourage artists to use non-toxic techniques. Digital prints (prints made with a printer) are not accepted.
However, digital processes can be used to elaborate prints that are traditionally printed.
The work must be relatively new, completed in the last couple of years, not before, and not have received a prize before.
The shortlisted artists will have their work shown in the Spike Print Studio at Spike Island, Bristol (UK), in summer 2018. An international jury will vote to select the shortlisted artists; the winner will be the artist with the most votes. There will be one award of 1000€ for the winning artist, and an AWAGAMI PAPER AWARD sponsored by The Awagami Factory (Japan) of 50 sheets of eco-friendly Awagami Factory paper, worth 500€.
The print with the most creative printing process will be awarded this year for the first time. ON PAPER encourages artists to develop their creativity and uniqueness through the process of printing. Artists may submit unique prints, poupe color prints, monotip processes, chine collé, multiplate prints… in general experimental prints that are unlikely to be part of an edition. There will be a prize of 300€ for the artist whose print has the most votes in this matter.
