Call for Entries

Four Oceans Press is pleased to announce the first in a series of quarterly hand-pulled print exchanges and our calendar project. The exchange is open to artist's who work in any of the traditional printmaking media - Woodblock, Linoleum, Serigraph, Lithograph or Intaglio.

How it works: This is a simple print exchange. You print an edition of 26 hand-pulled prints in any traditional print media. You will have about two months between signup and deadline to do the work and send it to us.

Send in your prints as soon as they are finished and dry. We will coordinate and collate the prints and return to you a pile of 25 prints from 25 different artists. The 26th set will go into our archives where they will be permanently displayed on a separate page on our website, linked to your website (if you have one) and may be used for future projects.  

After the exchange – the calendar project: 12 images - three prints from each of the next four exchanges - will be chosen for our 2009 Calendar project (tentatively due October 2008). The next three themes will be winter, spring and summer – the dates for these are below. The prints will be chosen based on image quality and how well they fit together as a group.

The Artist retains all rights to their image. We are only using it once. If we want to use your image for something else later we will ask your permission and discuss compensation with you at that point.
