Entries
The number of prints received for the EPS
International Exhibition has increased each year from 1997 to 2006 when
it reached 3,477.
However, the number fell in 2007 and again in
2008 (to 3,236, then to 2,734) Perhaps a higher proportion of
people are now entering exhibitions for projected images, rather than
prints.
There were
- 1,157 mono
prints
- 1,577 colour prints
- from 47 countries
From this entry, 203 prints
(7.43%) were selected
be hung in the exhibition. They were:
- 54
mono prints
- 149 colour prints.
