Submissions should include the proposed works in any technique such as screenprint, stencil, lithography, etching, inkjet printing, etc., without any limitation of approach or concept. All works will be on display during HALFTONE, at The Library Project and Black Church Print Studio from the launch at 7pm on Thursday 19 November 2015, when they will go on sale.
To speed up the process and to encourage prompt submissions, all forms are being replied to within 48 hours with a final decision. Space is limited, so do not wait till the deadline to submit.
Guidelines & Requirements
■ Do not wait till the deadline to submit. The sooner you do, the better.
■ Individuals can propose any number of prints via the online form in this page, and there is a €10 fee per submission form.
■ The submission form will offer upload space for 20 images, and you can propose a maximum of 10 prints per submission.
■ You must submit 2 images per proposed print:
– A digital copy of the artwork itself with a width of 1600px on the longest side. This image will be used to promote your work.
– A photograph of the print framed or mounted*, as it is proposed to be presented at HALFTONE.
With these images, we are able to asses the artwork, its presentation, and can plan its hanging.
* We accept loose prints wrapped in protective sleeves and with some hard backing like cardboard, well presented and neat. We don’t need a print to be mounted, as in glued, to a hard back.
