This is an open, juried call for illustrative and graphic design works to be used as promotional and commercial merchandise for the PSC. Submitted work must be digitally rendered. You may submit up to 10 works. Maximum accepted works per artist is 2. Members, Non-Members, and students are eligible. After jurying, finalists will be displayed in an online gallery on sketchclub.org, and in person in our Stewart Gallery. Finalists are required to print, frame, and securely wire accepted works to be hung in the competition. Works accepted online that are deemed unable to hang will not be displayed.
NOTICE: In submitting your work for this show, you are consenting to the Philadelphia Sketch Club’s use of your design for merchandising purposes. The PSC will retain all reproduction and usage rights to the work. You may continue to use the work in your personal portfolio and share online.
From the finalists, three winners will be chosen via public vote to have their work used in future PSC merchandising.
Works Eligible: Works must be digital submitted with 300dpi resolution. Works may not exceed 12” wide x 14” height. We encourage artists to keep designs within basic shape boundaries (square, rectangle, circle). These works will be used for merchandise; please limit to 5 colors maximum. Any fonts used must be cleared for commercial use. Works created using AI are not eligible in any PSC exhibition. Finalists’ work may be available for sale but not required. The PSC takes a 25% commission on all sales. All work must be original and not previously shown at the PSC. Please include potential shipping cost in price. Weight may not exceed 30 lbs.
