The Print Center is thrilled to announce its **100th ANNUAL International Competition**, to be juried by by **Anders Bergstrom**, **Joshua Chuang** and **Lesley Martin**.

The **ANNUAL** is one of the oldest and most prestigious competitions in the United States, and 2025 marks two exciting anniversaries – the 100th ANNUAL and The Print Center’s 110th; we welcome you to be a part of it!

The ANNUAL is open to local, national and international artists, and The Print Center is particularly interested in highlighting the use of photography and/or printmaking in new and intriguing ways, both in content, form and process.
