Works of Contemporary Drawing

A Competitive Annual Publication of Works of Contemporary Drawing
and Writing about Drawing

The International Drawing Annual is an extension of Manifest’s Drawing Center activities. Its goal is to support the recognition, documentation, and publication of excellent, current, and relevant works of drawing from around the world.

A natural question will be “what is drawing?” and that is exactly the question the Annual is meant to investigate from year to year. Furthermore the goal is to ask “what is exceptional drawing?” Therefore submissions are expected to vary, including a range of drawing types, from the most academic to the most experimental, but all with some relevance to the artists’ honest understanding of the practice of “drawing.”

Essays: With the inclusion of a call for writing about drawing Manifest eagerly pursues a deeper understanding of how drawing is realized, discussed, and interpreted in contemporary society. Works of writing will be selected to complement the artwork chosen for inclusion in the publication.

Eligibility: The International Drawing Annual is open to any artist submitting original works of art or design created within the past three years (2007 – 2009). Professionals and students in ALL disciplines are encouraged to submit. Manifest is eager to receive works of drawing in a wide range of applications (technical, graphic, fine art, architectural, digital, illustration, etc.) with the qualification being that artwork submitted is representative of high quality “drawing.” 
Written entries can be in any form (poetic, historical, technical, philosophical) but should be directly relevant to the practice of drawing and must be original works with proper citation for quoted material. Length of written entries should be limited to a max. of 1500 words. INDA entrants may choose to submit either artwork, writing or both.

Media: Open to any media applicable to the practice of drawing including but by no means limited to traditional drawing media. Printmaking, digital/new media, photography, sculpture, painting, installation, etc., are all possibly valid.

Jury and Curator: Manifest’s selection process involves a complex two-part system. This project will be juried by a 9-12 member panel of professional and academic advisors with a broad range of expertise. The jury will then pass along their scores to the project curator who will assemble the final selections from the jury-approved pool.

Publication: Each artist/author selected for inclusion in the INDA will receive one complimentary copy of the publication. The books produced for this ongoing project have increased in page count and print quality each year, with the most recent publication reaching over 160 pages in length.

Online INDA Resource: An Internet-based online International Drawing Annual Resource website will be published to accompany the printed Annual. This will feature statements, bios, contact info., and professional information for each person included.
(www.manifestgallery.org/inda)

Entry Fee: Each work submitted (drawn or written) must be accompanied by a $10 non-refundable entry fee. Number of entries is unlimited. Entry fee must be paid by U.S. check or money order made payable to MANIFEST, or by credit card via PayPal. Detail images may be included at no additional cost but should only be provided when necessary to reveal accurate understanding of the artwork.

Awards and CASH PRIZES: First, Second, and Third Place awards for works of drawing will be decided by the jury committee. Each award winner will have a brief artist’s statement included in the publication. There will be three cash prizes of $700, $200, and $100 for first, second, and third place winners.

Exhibit: Artists selected for inclusion in the INDA 5 publication will also be considered for theSelections from the International Drawing Annual exhibit, scheduled for March/April 2010. This will be a small hand-picked ‘highlights’ exhibit at Manifest Gallery in Cincinnati. Works are notrequired to be available for exhibit in order to be considered for the INDA project.

Text Entries: Authors can choose to submit written entries in either Word or PDF format. Written entries must be submitted electronically via e-mail attachment.

Images: In an effort to conserve resources Manifest accepts only digital images for consideration. (see details below). The Gallery will retain the submitted images of accepted artwork and reserves the right to use the images in publications and gallery publicity. CD’s of works not selected will only be returned if accompanied by a SASE. 
(digital entries and online form submissions preferred)

Digital Format: Digital images can be submitted on CD or by e-mail (send to: show@manifestgallery.org). The email and online submission process is HIGHLY PREFERRED because it makes our process more efficient and saves postage and materials for the artists. Hi-Res, print-quality images will be requested for accepted works upon conclusion of the jury process. If suitable images are not provided, the work may not be included in the publication.

Submission images must meet the following specifications:
File names = artist’s last name followed by the entry number as noted on the entry form (i.e. Jones1.jpg).

Detail, installation, or alternate view images must include the word ‘detail’ in the filename (i.e. Jones1detail1.jpg.).

Image files should be in HIGH QUALITY JPEG format, images should be no smaller than 1000 pixels in any direction and 72dpi. Images must be oriented properly (i.e. top of image is top of artwork) and must not include artist’s name, or other descriptive text within the image itself. Video work should be sent with simlar naming conventions in quicktime compatible format.

To send via email: The email should include the artist’s full name as subject along with ‘INDA 5 submission.’
