2012-2013 Regional Framing Competitions!
The Great Lakes PPFA and Nelson’s are teaming up to bring you
The Open and PRINT Competitions

Both the PRINT Framing Competition and OPEN Framing
Competition are held at the chapter level. For advancement to the International PRINT Framing Competition, entrants must first pre-qualify by winning 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or Honorable Mention at their Chapter PRINT Framing Competition to participate.

The PRINTCompetition is a chapter level (GLPPFA) framing competition.
For this category, preservation standards shall be a priority, treating the piece of art as priceless. PRINT competition items shall be selected with specific challenges behind them to test the entrant’s knowledge and abilities. The PRINT chosen for the 2012-2013 competition year is the “Petroglyph / Rock Art” by artist Ron York. Ron is part Creek Indian (also known as Muscogee), and although these Native American people are traditionally from the southeastern United States, Petroglyphs (also called rock engravings) are images created by carving, engraving, incising or abrading the surface
of a rock. This years print is available through Nelson’s Moulding and Framing and the Great Lakes PPFA for more info Email us atgreatlakes_ppfa@sbcglobal.net or Call Nelson’s Moulding and Frame for more info @ 1-800-289-2467

The Open Competition is a chapter level (GLPPFA) framing competition. The OPEN Framing Competition is framing of any item, image, object, or collection of the framer’s choice. It remains at the total discretion of the individual frame designer whether or not they wish to uphold total conservation procedures during their framing. Preservation materials and practices for custom framing should be encouraged.

In order to honor the outstanding commitment of Nelson's Frame and Moulding to PPFA, and to enjoy visiting with framing friends, Gail and I will look forward to taking that 7-1/2 hour trip for the events.

If any framers along our route from central Ohio would like to come with us, contact me. We will drive to Traverse City Saturday morning and return home Monday morning.

Since the featured classes are about shadowboxes, I will bring some of my new Museum Glass shadowboxes to show and contribute for the door prize drawings. Also, "The Complete Guide to Shadowboxes and Framing Objects" will be available at the PPFA Bookstore's discount, and a few copies of the book will be contributed for the drawings, as well.
