2008 SAINT JAMES COURT ART SHOWTM POSTER COMPETITION
The 52nd annual Saint
James Court Art Show will be held October 3, 4, & 5 in historic Old
Louisville. A limited-edition poster (250 signed/numbered; 250 open editions)
will be produced and sold at the show. A competition will determine this year’s
poster design; detailed below are entry specifics. For more information,
email: mesrock@stjamescourtartshow.com
or call 502.635.1842.
· Size/Orientation of the finished poster
should not exceed 24” x 36”, nor be smaller than 18” x 28”. Orientation
(vertical/horizontal layout) shall be dictated by the artist.
· Entries do not have to be 100%
of the finished poster size, but should not be less than 8.5" X
11" overall, and if reduced, proportionate to the actual dimensions.
Whether rendered by hand or computer, designs should be depicted in the
color(s) representative of the finished, printed poster. If submitting original
artwork (such as a painting), an overlay or separate color composite must show
how the text will appear with the artwork. If submitting computer-generated
composite containing scanned images of original artwork, submission of the
original art along with your design is encouraged. ALL ENTRIES NEED TO BE
MOUNTED ON FOAM CORE OR SOME OTHER MATERIAL BUT NEEDN’T BE FRAMED. Unacceptable
entries include CDs/disks, photos/slides, Xeroxed copies or rough sketches of
an idea.
· Design Elements might include, but are
certainly not limited to: art, Victorian architecture, elements of Old
Louisville or
The
design or some element thereof must be adaptable for printing on multi-colored
sweat and tee-shirts. Artists must submit supplemental artwork depicting the
shirt design if it differs from the original poster design.
· Print medium will most probably be
offset lithography (original to negative to plate to press), but will
ultimately depend upon number and breakdown of colors. The artist whose design
is selected must provide artwork directly to the printer (selected by the Art
Show) in a format suitable
for production of both posters and shirts (disk or camera-ready art), and assumes
responsibility for any and all costs and materials associated with providing
said art. The artist will work directly with the printer to ensure the
integrity of the finished product.

(please use the attached form as the entry, as we keep it for our records).
