Postcard Art Competition and Exhibition calls for entries

The Curt Teich Postcard Archives at the Lake County Discovery Museum is pleased to announce a call for entries for the ninth biennial Postcard Art Competition and Exhibition (PACE). The juried competition celebrates the postcard as an art form and challenges artists, over age 18, to create original works of art in 4-by-6-inch postcard size.

The deadline for submissions to the PACE competition is July 11, 2011. Art in any two-dimensional medium reproducible by photographic process is acceptable, as is three-dimensional work with a depth no greater than three-eighths of an inch. Winning artworks will be included in an exhibit that opens in October 2011 at the Lake County Discovery Museum, near Wauconda, and then travels to various local galleries and cultural institutions for approximately one year.

Work will be judged on overall creativity, content, technical expertise and ease of reproduction within the postcard format. Cash prizes will be awarded to the top 12 entries. All entries are eligible to participate in an art sale to be held in July 2011.
