Sheffield Artist’s Book Prize @Bank Street Arts, Sheffield
Closing date for submissions – 30th June 2008
The Sheffield Artist’s Book Prize is an open submission exhibition, held in conjunction with, and as part of, the Off the Shelf Festival which takes place annually in Sheffield during the months of October and November.
Whilst there is a cash prize of £150 for the winning entry, The Sheffield Artist’s Book Prize is as much about finding an interesting format in which to show and view artists’ books as it is about creating a prize. The various galleries at Bank Street will be filled with armchairs, sofas, beanbags, cushions and the books themselves placed on tables around the galleries; visitors to the exhibition will be given a voting form and asked to choose their favourite book(s).
The exact format for display and selection will depend on the volume and type of submissions, though it is anticipated that all entries will be displayed in the exhibition and the organisers will use their own discretion regarding decisions about display.
Entry to the exhibition and prize is free; artists may submit only one book per individual maker, more than one in the case of collaborative authorship.
The exhibition will run for 3 weeks from 16th October to 6th November, 2008.
Closing date for submissions – 30th June 2008.
