CALL TO ARTISTS:
Announcing the 2006 ABANA Conference Poster Contest.
This will be a contest to choose an “Official Poster” for the 2006 ABANA Conference in Seattle, Washington.
Who can Participate?
Anyone who is over 18 years old is invited to submit their original art work.
What is the Prize?
The winner will receive two free passes to the conference. This does not include room and meals.
Interviews with the winner will be published in the Anvil’s Ring and on the ABANA web site.
What are the Rules?
Be sure to include your name, address, phone number and e-mail with your submission.
Submit any 2-D medium or digital file on a CD such as tiff, gif or jpg. (NO E-MAIL) Size must be smaller than 36” x 36”.
Must include the words: ABANA, 2006, SEATTLE, Washington in any configuration that the artist chooses.
Keep in mind that the theme of the conference is “Fusion and Transformation in the Ring of Fire!”
This will be the second consecutive conference poster contest. The idea is to create a body of biennial art posters
that are suitable for framing and collecting. Submissions must be received before April 15, 2006.
The winning artist must give copyright permission to ABANA who intends to produce posters and other novelties
featuring the winning design. Sufficient postage and packing material must accompany your work if you want it returned.
If you do not want it returned, it will go into the conference auction to raise funds for ABANA.
Who Judges the Submissions?
All of the submissions will be displayed on a website, www.metalsmithinghow-to.com/poster/
Anyone can visit the website and vote for the poster that they like best.
The poster receiving the most votes will win. One need not be an ABANA member to vote.
