Time for another sneak peek … This is an oil and collage work from Michelle Hand, whose book was the 1981 School Friend Annual. She has titled this piece, “What’s Up Skip?”, and we think it’s just beautiful! Thanks, Michelle!
What's Up Skip?
Well, it is just over 3 weeks to the 2012 Bibio-Art Exhibition opening. All entrants have now been contacted by email – well done to those that were successful. If you haven’t received an email, then first check your spam folder, then contact us. The next few weeks is going to be fun as the artworks begin to come in!!
Hi All!
Wow! What can we say to these wonderful entries we’ve been receiving for this year’s Biblio-Art competition!? They are inspirational and amazing, yet again! To the artists who have entered this year, a huge thank you!
So now we have closed the competition for 2012 – if you have a piece completed but not yet submitted, please get in touch with us. Otherwise, we have another very healthy, very diverse exhibition ahead of us! We’ll be in touch soon with what happens next. Meanwhile, as promised, a sneak peek at an entry from Warrnambool’s own Dianne Gaetani. Her book was “The Earth Garden” (K&I Smith, Eds) and piece is entitled, “Bags of Ideals”. Beautiful, no?
The entries are coming in thick and fast now! Thank you to all artists who are keeping to the deadlines! It makes our job so much easier. I keep thinking we should award an extra prize to early entries! This year we won’t be accepting late entries at all, so do take care. It’s a great competition with a worthwhile prize, so please respect our stance on this.
We are very nearly at the closing date, and we’re looking forward to seeing them all! We’ll run some sneak peeks shortly… Please make sure that the entry forms are filled out properly, and that your photos are the best quality you can manage (no photos through glass, please!).
We’ll be announcing who our guest judges are soon, so stay tuned! Facebook often has information that may not make it to the website, so please take a moment to like us there as well – it’s just another way to stay in the loop.
Keep up the inspirational work!
10 days into the 2012 competition, and we already have over 70 entrants signed up, mostly through the shop! Fantastic support, folks! Important to those who are only able to enter online, or from afar, is this year we won’t be listing the titles, due to time constraints. This year, for those entering from afar, we are offering the Paper Bag Challenge. As a sweetener, this has an added prize potential of $250. So please contact us – preferably by email – to order your books as soon as you can! Remember, the idea is for us all to have fun with it, so ENJOY!
