Call for Entries: 10th Annual Postcard Print Exchange
Hosted by the University Print Society
Saturday, March 20, 2010-Saturday, March 20, 2010
The Iowa State University Print Society invites printmakers from around the world to participate in its 10th Annual Postcard Print Exchange in 2010. The theme for this year's exchange is "X" -- a letter/number/symbol/arrangement of lines to be interpreted as openly as artists wish. NOTE: The entry deadline has been extended. Entries are now due March 20, 2010.
To enter, create 13 duplicate postcards, each 4" x 6". Any printmaking technique may be used: woodcut, litho, intaglio, photo, silkscreen, digital, etc. Send the 13 identical prints individually to April Katz, the print society's faculty adviser, at the address below. Each card must be stamped and will bear the markings of travel and the postal service. (Do not send the cards together in one envelope.)
In addition to the mailing address, include the following information on the back of each card:
- Your name and return address (legible, please)
- A sentence or fragment or word or thought with the letter X in it
(be as profound -- or not -- as you would like)
- Process(es) used
- Your email (optional)
If you can, please send (separately) a small donation of $8 ($4 for students) to help pay for return postage. Checks payable to the University Print Society.
Send postcard prints to:
April Katz
University Print Society
158 College of Design
Iowa State University
Ames, IA 50011-3092
USA
Entries are due March 20, 2010.
After receiving everyone's postcard prints, the University Print Society will divide up the cards and each entrant will be sent 12 new and different prints from other participants. The print society will keep one of the 13 submitted by each entrant for its collection. Postage for returning the 12 new prints will be paid for by the society; however, your donation will help tremendously.
Please send any questions to Daniel Stender, University Print Society president, dlstender@gmail.com.
