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.

   -  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:
