On Paper is a project to promote the art of printmaking and develop connections between printmakers around the world.

Each artist can submit one piece of work on a paper size of 300mm x 400mm. The print size can be any within the size of the paper. The work must have been made using any traditional printmaking techniques, including:

• Screenprinting

• Photopolymer
• etc.

Digital prints are not accepted.

The work must be relatively new, completed in the last couple of years, not before, and not have received a prize before.

The jury will be composed of international artists and professionals of the printmaking world. The jury will choose a shortlist of about 10 artists as well as the winning work.
