The artworks are sent in digital form first. The international committee will select the artworks that meet the given requirements. The artworks selected by the committee will be shown at the Kortil Gallery in Rijeka, and these will have to be sent by post.

The application must contain a completed ONLINE application form and high-quality photos of the artworks (jpeg format, 300 dpi), no larger than 20 MB in total.

The artist can apply to the call with up to 3 works in digital form.

Each photograph of the artwork has to include the following information: the author’s name and surname, the artwork title, the technique used and the artwork dimensions (height x width, in cm). In case of three-dimensional works, depth also has to be specified (height x width x depth, in cm). Example: Tea Horvat_Ilussion_etching_2020_80x60cm

In case of applying with three-dimensional works, artist’s books or objects in space, the artist has to send several photos of the work, taken from different angles, for a better view of the applied work.

If the applicant finds it necessary, he/she can insert the description of the work (concept) in the designated space.

The first phase of application is done exclusively by filling out the online form. If an artist sends the original artwork by post before the committee/international jury selects the artworks in digital form, we will not be able to return the artwork.

The committee / international jury for the selection of artworks chooses from the received online applications the artworks that will be exhibited at the Kortil Gallery in Rijeka.

All authors will be informed of the results of the selection by e-mail.

In addition, the list of selected authors will be published on the website of the International Exhibition of Prints and Artist’s Books of the Rijeka Academy of Applied Arts, as well as on the Academy’s Facebook and Instagram profile.
