How it works Each participating printmaker creates and submits a limited edition of twelve (12) prints specifically for the exchange. These prints are created using a recognized fine art printmaking technique with archival materials. Of the twelve (12) prints submitted, Hand Print Press keeps two (2); the first print for the exhibition and archives; the second for sale to fund future projects. The remaining prints are randomized and sorted, and each printmaker receives ten random prints in return from all printmakers all over the world. Eligibility HPP 25 Year Anniversary Print Exchange is open to ALL printmakers worldwide. A non–refundable fee is required upon registration. Submission Guidelines Print submissions to HPP’s 25 Year Anniversary Print Exchange MUST comply with all the guidelines.
