Prints must have been created within the last two years and not have been previously exhibited at Artlink. Reproduction prints will not be accepted.  All artists, at least 18 years of age, residing in the United States are eligible. 

Awards
Three cash awards ($300, $200 and $100) will be selected by this year's juror, Bill Hosterman.
