We are excited to announce our 101st ANNUAL International Competition, to be juried by Pepe Coronado, Director and Master Printer, Coronado printstudio, Austin, TX, and Shana Lopes, Assistant Curator of Photography, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, CA.
The ANNUAL is one of the oldest and most prestigious competitions in the United States, and 2025 marks two exciting anniversaries – the 100th ANNUAL and The Print Center’s 110th; we welcome you to be a part of it!
The ANNUAL is open to local, national and international artists, and The Print Center is particularly interested in highlighting the use of photography and/or printmaking in new and intriguing ways, both in content, form and process.
Any artist using Photography and/or Printmaking as critical components in their work can enter. Artists whose work pushes the boundaries of traditional photographic and printmaking practices are encouraged to enter. 2D and 3D works, including artist books, are eligible.

The Print Center honors the power of photography and print to raise and amplify a multiplicity of voices. We are committed to fostering that power to advocate for change as well as supporting artists working for equity and justice in our exhibitions and programs. The Print Center welcomes artists, audiences and participants of diverse backgrounds, races, religions, sexual orientations and gender identities. We value diversity all facets of operations and in the range of communities with which we engage. We welcome and encourage the participation of individuals of all backgrounds who are inspired by our shared purpose.

A wide variety of exhibition, museum acquisition, cash and material prizes are provided by supporters of the ANNUAL to be awarded to Semifinalists and Finalists, including:
