Apply: www.printcenter.org Orit Hofshi, The Road Not Taken, 2008, Installation View "The recognition given to me by The Print Center was especially significant as an artist working quite isolated from the US scene, in Israel. I was awarded a solo exhibition from the Competition which gave me the opportunity to work closely with The Print Center's great team. This incredible exposure paved the way to my being invited a couple years later to participate in "Philagrafika 2010: The Graphic Unconscious." Participating in The Print Center's Competition was not only an amazing career step, but also the beginning of a wonderful ongoing dialogue with an exciting, cutting edge and supportive art center." -Orit Hofshi Eligibility The competition is open to all artists.

About the Competition The Print Center's Annual International Competition is one of the most prestigious and oldest juried exhibitions in the United States. Alternating yearly between printmaking and photography, it provides a unique opportunity for local, national and international artists to compete in a forum which emphasizes individual talent and expressiveness rather than a specific exhibition topic.
