Work arranged in installation format is acceptable but must have printmaking as its core component.

Due to the nature of this project and the timings involved, applicants are expected to have a significant body of work, from which a selection can be made for the exhibition, therefore a proposal will be requested from a shortlist of artists selected by the SSA. These proposals will then be sent to the Board of Governors at Engramme Print Studio in Quebec for final selection of the successful applicant.

Shortlisted artists will be informed by February 29, 2016.
