UNT Special Collections would like to announce a call for entries for the 10th Biennial Artists' Book Competition. The purpose of this competition is to encourage the development of students' work in the medium of artists' books, to foster the creation of artists' books, to reward excellence and creativity in the medium, and to build the collection of artists' books in the UNT Libraries' Special Collections.
Entries will be accepted in two categories: a Student Purchase Prize category and a Non-Student category. One winner will be selected from each category, but the $400 purchase award will only be given to the winner of the student category. Honorable mention awards will be given in each category, at the discretion of the jurors. Additional entries from both categories may be selected for purchase, dependent upon availability and budget restrictions of UNT Special Collections. All entries must have been created within the last two years to be eligible.
Works must be delivered to Willis Library December 4-15, 2017.
An exhibit of all entries will be on display in Willis Library from January 8-March 9, 2018.
For further information about eligibility, entry procedures, and entry forms, please visit the Call for Entries event page. Any questions regarding the competition and exhibit can be directed to Mandy.Rausch@unt.edu.
