We will also make a free downloadable catalogue from the exhibition with the names of each of the artists, medium and title. There is no limit to the number of submissions you can send. While we intend to display all submitted postcards, a selection committee will choose the winning postcard to be published as the cover design for the exhibition catalogue.
