OPPORTUNITIES FOR ARTISTS CALL FOR NOMINATIONS The Minnesota Book Awards, coordinated by The Friends of the Saint Paul Public Library, calls for nominations for the 2011 Minnesota Book Artist Award. This annual Award, co-sponsored by Minnesota Center for Book Arts, recognizes a Minnesota book artist or long-standing book artist collaborative group for excellence of artistic work, as well as significant contributions to Minnesota's book arts community. The 2011 Minnesota Book Artist Award will include the following: Individuals may nominate more than one book artist or collaborative group for the Award. (Each nomination requires a separate form.) Book artists and book artist collaborative groups may nominate themselves. Nomination deadline: Friday, October 8, 2010; 5:00pm Click here to download the nomination form from the Minnesota Book Awards website. The primary selection criteria, in order, are: demonstrated excellence and innovation of artistic work in the book arts throughout a career (or combined careers in the case of a long-standing collaborative group), and significant artistic contributions to Minnesota's book arts community. The Minnesota Book Artist Award winner is selected by five jurors in a two-step process. In the first step, finalists are chosen based on materials submitted during the nomination process. In the second step, the finalists are contacted and asked to provide samples of their work to the Minnesota Book Awards for a one week period for review by the jurors. All of these materials are returned to the finalists. Jurors select the Award winner based both on the actual work samples provided and the written materials submitted including the nomination form and artist's statement. Jurors are selected by the Minnesota Book Awards and are individuals knowledgeable about the book arts community and accomplished artists working in other mediums. Deadline: Friday, October 8, 2010; 5:00pm For eligibility guidelines and more details: visit the Minnesota Book Awards website.
