A woodcut exlibris exhibition will be held in the Finland FISAE congress in 2012. This is NOT a competition, but an extensive exhibit to show richness and variety of woodcut exlibris. We expect to mount about 300 bookplates submitted from artists and collectors. The plan and rules are as follows.
1. Organizers: The Nippon Exlibris Association, The Taiwan Exlibris Association, and the Chinese Exlibris Societies.
2. Rules of Participation:
(1) Collectors are invited to submit 2 pieces each of 5 [maximum] different woodcut exlibris (hopefully multi-water-coloured), with the names of sender, owner, artist, the year of production (if it is known), and a word about the design. The data may be written in pencil on the reverse of each plate, or typed on separate labels. Historical exlibris would be accepted, and collectors may send exlibris of others’.
(2) Artists are invited to submit 2 pieces each of 3 [maximum] different of their new woodcut exlibris produced from 2010-2011,with the names of sender, owner, artist, the year of production, and a word about the design. The data are to be written in pencil on the reverse of each plate, or typed on separate labels.
3. If the number of submitted exlibris is too many to show in the limited space, the organizers might need to make some selection.
4. An illustrated catalogue of the best exlibris submitted for the exhibition will be published in Taiwan.
5. An illustrated catalogue will be sent to each collector and artist whose exlibris are illustrated
therein.
6. One set of submitted exlibris will become property of the Finnish Exlibris Society and the other will become property of the Taiwanese Exlibris Society.
