The Center for Contemporary Printmaking is delighted to host our 15th Biennial International Miniature Print Competition and Exhibition. This juried competition and exhibition is limited to original prints that are no bigger than four square inches (25.8 sq cm). The miniature format encourages artists to explore the essence of their work and refine it to the most important details. It also provides an opportunity for artists from around the world to exhibit their work, and exposes the public to the most current interests of the international printmaking community. Since its inception in 1997, the competition has attracted diverse entries from thousands of artists across the globe.
For 2025, 416 prints were submitted by 173 artists from 19 countries and 23 states. Juror Ann Shafer selected 89 works by 89 artists from 11 countries and 21 states.
