ELIGIBILITY:

Entry is open to all US artists working in the monotype and monoprint medium. Submissions must be original, one-of-a-kind prints created in the last five years. Work shown in previous MGNE national exhibitions may not be submitted again. The Exhibition Committee and the Juror may reject any piece that differs significantly from the accepted digital image, does not fit the criteria, or is not framed in a suitable manner for museum display.

Please read the following definitions to be sure that your work is eligible: A monotype is made by drawing, painting or inking on a surface and transferring the image to a sheet of paper. The image is not repeatable. A monoprint contains lines or images that can be repeated exactly, from one impression to the next, such as etched lines, a linocut or a lithograph. The artist varies the inking, composition or other elements to create a unique print
