Call for Work: PIEA Deadline Monday, 30 November 2009

The deadline for the annual PIEA juried exhibition is approaching!

Entry fees will be paid for any School of Communications students who enter the contest, but read the rules carefully about image sizes that are acceptable and how to identify your prints. Bring your entries with a filled out entry form to the Kirk House, and leave them in the box outside Bill Barrett's office by the end of the day on Monday, 30 November. (Entries are due in northern Michigan a few days later, but they are in an area that does not get overnight deliveries. We need to pack up the show and get it there in time, hence the Monday deadline).

There are nearly 150,000 in prizes for this contest, and the exhibition travels the world for three years. (It comes to the May Gallery at the end of every year.)

Get your entry together now!
