Centenary of Canberra
- A Legacy of Good Design
Canberra ACT
Australia
Winning Products available through 2013
Centenary of Canberra - a legacy of good design is a competition to design unique, high quality objects, to be produced and sold as memorabilia for the city's centenary in 2013.
This project aims to:
invite craft practitioners and designer makers of the ACT Region to create a product of memorabilia that recognises and celebrates 100 years of Canberra as Australia's national capital;
celebrate the contribution and history of craft and design in Canberra;
showcase and provide opportunities for Canberra's craft practitioners and designer makers; and
encourage new partnerships between these creative industries and manufacturers, with a view to increasing the manufacturing capacity of the Canberra region.
About the competition
The competition is open to all Canberra and local region residents.
10 finalists, selected from the entries, will each receive $1,000 to develop their design concept into a prototype. The first 10 finalists will be selected on the concept, design and ability to manufacture the memorabilia.
These 10 finalists will then present their prototype and the concept behind the design, to a panel of experts.
From the initial 10 finalists 4 products (winners) will be selected.
Each of the 4 winners will be contracted to manufacture the memorabilia product and paid an amount of $10,000 for the production costs of the initial run of the memorabilia product.
The Competition Guidelines outline the competition structure, eligibility, selection criteria, retail, marketing and distribution and key dates.

Lark Crafts: 500 Paper Objects
Deadline:
500 Paper Objects
Lark Crafts
Asheville, NC
Publishing Opportunity
Juror: Gene McHugh, Kress Fellow, Whitney Museum of American Art
Lark Crafts seeks images to publish a juried collection of paper objects. Each piece must prominently feature paper. Materials other than paper may be included, but paper must be the focus and should occupy roughly 80% of the piece. The collection will feature a wide variety of techniques (ex: origami, kirigami, folding, tearing, cutting, stitching, quilling, papier mache, casting) and forms (sculpture, installations, jewelry, fashion, wall pieces, vessels, toys, etc.) with a wide variety of textures and colors. All paper forms will be considered, and we welcome up to four submissions per artist.
We can only accept high-quality digital images (no slides or transparencies). There is no entry fee. Artists will receive full acknowledgment within the book, one complimentary copy, and discounts on the purchase of additional books. Artists retain copyright of their work.
NOTE: Pay close attention to the photographic requirements. Submissions that do not meet the requirements will not be considered.
Entries must be postmarked by September 26, 2011.
Important: Lark Crafts will only publish photos of entries containing text and images that are free of copyright or for which the artist (or approved institution) holds copyright.
All visuals submitted must represent work that is original in design. Please choose work that reflects the book’s concept. A maximum of four entries per artist is allowed. An entry may consist of no more than two visuals: an overall shot and one detail (or alternate view). All entries must be mailed in the same packet. We do not accept e-mailed submissions.
PHOTOGRAPHY
As this is a gallery book, we can’t stress enough the importance of excellent quality images. We strongly recommend having professional photography done to best showcase your work.
We prefer images of pieces that have not been published previously, and please do NOT submit images of pieces that have been published in any Lark book. Recent work is strongly preferred.

Book Power!
Deadline: May 14, 2010 (ONLINE)
Book Power!
Artist Books Addressing Our Social, Political or Environmental World
23 Sandy Gallery
Portland, Oregon
June 3-26, 2010
THEME – Book Power is seeking artist books addressing the social, political or environmental issues of our times. Can an artist book be a vehicle to shed light on the problems we face in the world? Can books be a call for change? Can we go beyond just artists who make things to artists who make things happen? War, poverty, decay, politics, conflict, revolution, feminism, environmental, economic and political upheaval are but a few of the issues that concerned book artists can use to engage their readers in an effort to raise consciousness, call for justice or provoke action. Perhaps we really can use our creative powers to solve the problems of the world.
MEDIA - This exhibit is open to hand bound book arts related artworks created as either edition or one-of-a-kind. Artist books, sculptural books, book objects, altered books, zines or broadsides are encouraged. Any medium, any style, any size.
BEST OF SHOW & CURATORS CHOICE AWARDS - One "Best of Show" and two "Curators Choice" certificates will be awarded for Book Power. These awards will be chosen by a special voting ballot that will be mailed with the printed catalog to our targeted institution list. We see this as another way to get librarians and curators excited and engaged with the show.
ONLINE CATALOG - 23 Sandy Gallery will publish a complete online catalog illustrating this exhibition. The online catalog will remain on our web site for at least three years and will include three photos of each work, production specs, an artist statement and artist biography.
PRINT CATALOG - A full-color, 40-50 page, printed catalog showcasing of all the books in this exhibition will also be produced. The print catalog will include one photo of each work, production specs, an artist statement and artist biography.
EXHIBITION DISPLAY - This exhibition will be displayed at 23 Sandy Gallery. We feel very strongly that artist books need to be handled to be fully appreciated. Handi-Wipes are provided for customers along with a friendly word about proper book handling.
ENTRIES - A maximum of three works may be submitted per artist. Entries must be received online no later than MAY 14, 2010. Artists accepted for the exhibition will be notified via email. The gallery reserves the right to decline any accepted artwork upon delivery if the condition or quality are other than represented in the electronic entry.
FEES - A $25 non-refundable entry fee covers up to three works and is payable upon submission.
INTERNATIONAL ARTISTS - Artists residing outside of the United States are welcome to enter this exhibition. The exhibition entry fee of $25 must be paid in US funds. Return shipping of all artwork will be handled via the carrier of your choice but you must provide pre-paid, ready-to-ship shipping labels and customs documents.
