POSTCARD SHOW INFORMATION AND ENTRY FORM

 

"Wish You Were Here" is a small format show with 4 x 6 inch postcard-sized collages. This exhibit gives each participating member a guaranteed opportunity to display the one collage that they select for entry. The is no jury (one Awards Judge) and slides and CDs are not required. The main annual national exhibit in the Fall has become so large in scope that many artists cannot be accepted. The jury selects only an average of 20% from the total entries. For this NCS members postcard show, 100% are accepted. This is a member show, anyone who is a member and enters will be in the show. This exhibition does NOT count toward your Signature Member status. Cash awards and merit certificates will be selected by the awards judge.

The 6th Annual was held in the Lincoln Center on Broadway in New York City. There were 200 artists and 20 award winners. The Awards Judge, Paul Yanko said, "The small format is a challenge... size restriction forces the artists to a more intimate scale with a new response to the format." "Collage is an unexpected juxtaposition of elements."
