| Shape and size of the image.
Resending a cheque for the following call. Specifying the technique with the international symbols. |
||
| Without exceeding the limits of 10 x 10 cm, can the print be of any shape and size? |
 |
|
| Yes. Moreover, when in the entry forms we speak about a limit of 10 x 10 cm, we don’t only mean 100 square cm, but a square of 10 x 10 cm. That is the window of the passe-partout we use in the exhibitions and that we also use to reproduce all prints in the catalogue. | ||
| Without exceeding the limits of 18 x 18 cm, can the paper or support be of any shape and size? |
|
|
| Yes, there is no problem with that. | ||
| Must the print be in the centre of the paper or support? |
|
|
| It is not essential, but is very advisable. For the purposes of the catalogue, it is not very important, but the passe-partouts we use in the exhibitions are 18 x 18 cm, and their 10 x 10 cm window is in the centre of that square. Thus, for example, if you send us a print of 10 x 10 cm which is in a corner of the paper measuring 18 x 18 cm, you will meet the requirements of the entry forms but we will be forced to cut out the paper so that the image appears wholly through the central window of the passe-partout, and the paper doesn’t protrude from any of the edges. | ||
| I can see that in the web page, in the Entry Forms section, the year of the call is indicated. Does it mean that the entry forms change every year? |
|
|
| No. Although it could happen (and has certainly happened in the past) that we will occasionally need to change the entry forms, this is not usual. We may sometimes insert a few small changes in style or explanations but, essentially, the entry forms will always remain the same. If we include the year in the title of this section, it is only to make it clear that the period of registration has been opened for the next call. | ||
| I received from you a 25 EUR cheque for the sale of one of my prints. Can I send you that same cheque, plus the amount needed to cover the fee, to be able to participate in the following call? |
|
|
| Yes, you can. | ||
| When I specify the technique used in my prints, can I indicate it with the international symbols for techniques used in printed ex-libris? |
|
|
| Yes, you can choose between writing the name of the technique or using the international code. If you choose to write the name of the technique, then, in order to avoid misunderstandings, please do it in English, Catalan or Spanish. | ||

| I've seen photography is one of the techniques included in the list of international symbols for ex-libris. Do you accept photography as a printing technique in your competition? |
|
|
| No, we don't. | ||
