Conditions of Entry
The Fremantle Print Award supported by Little Creatures Brewing is open to living artists working within Australia. Individuals are invited to enter one print or artist’s book only using any printing process. Framed, mounted or stretched works will not be accepted and will be returned at the artist’s expense. The work is to be the work of the entrant and is to have been made during the two years preceding January 2008. Prints in multiple parts are acceptable but must be considered as a single work.

Entry Process
Entrants should submit up to five images of one print or artist’s book using any printing process. Only selected entrants will need to submit actual work. The images must be jpegs at 15 cm x 15 cm maximum in size and at least 150 dpi burnt to a CD. Images should be labelled with surname, underscore, number and jpeg extension. Entries submitted for preselection will not be considered if not presented in the prescribed format. No other support material should be included. Emailed submissions will not be considered. CDs will not be returned.
Selection of Prints
The judging panel will view all entries received and will be responsible for the selection of works for the exhibition. All entrants will be notified whether their work has been selected for the exhibition by Monday June 2 2008. Selected work will need to be delivered to the Fremantle Arts Centre by Monday 16 June 2008, 5pm. Fremantle Arts Centre reserves the right not to exhibit a work following viewing of the work itself if in the opinion of the Judges and the Fremantle Arts Centre Exhibitions Manager the images
submitted are not an adequate representation of the actual work submitted.
Aquisition Considerations
If Little Creatures Brewing selects a work which is also the winner of the Acquisitive Prize, the artist shall provide:
When the work is editionable, two works from the edition or at least one work from the edition plus one proof. If the second work does not belong to the numbered edition, it must be an artist’s proof, not a working proof and preferably not the printer’s proof.
When the work is a unique state, the work plus a second related work of similar quality and value to be negotiated by Little Creatures and Fremantle Arts Centre.
When the work is digital, two works from the same edition. Both works either digital or traditional must be printed to the same standard on/with the same quality medium/s and ground/s as the winning submission.
Care & Insurance
Fremantle Arts Centre will exercise reasonable care of works entered but will not accept responsibility for loss or damage while works are in its keeping or in transit. However, works selected for the exhibition will be fully insured during the period of the exhibition. Fremantle Arts Centre will not be responsible for unclaimed works after December 2008.
Publicity
Entrants are to allow Fremantle Arts Centre to reproduce their works for the purposes of promoting the Award. Copyright remains with the artist.
Announcement of Winners
The winners will be announced at the opening of the exhibition on Friday 22 August 2008 and in the Weekend Australian on Saturday 23 August 2008. The exhibition closes on Sunday 5 October 2008.
Sale of Work
