Art Documentation Cover Design Competition

ARLIS/NA members will have the opportunity to view the submitted designs and vote on a shortlist, from which the winning design will be selected by the jury. We aim to announce the winner early in the New Year 2010. The new design will have its debut with the Spring 2010 issue of Art Documentation. Please use your networks to pass the word along to colleagues and eligible designers in your institutions.

Thank you, and good luck!
