ELCAF is proud to announce the launch of its very first award. The ELCAF Award enables artists to realise their creative vision by granting £2,000 to support and transform an idea into a printed publication. We’re incredibly excited to be able to support new ideas and create an opportunity to bring to life artist projects that would have otherwise been a struggle to realise. Sponsored by WeTransfer, the award is designed around the concept that ideas improve when they are shared. As such, we will select from submissions by ELCAF’s past or present exhibitors and support the winner to develop and produce their publication, all the while documenting the process for a showcase at next year’s ELCAF in June 2017.

The winner will be selected by a panel of illustrators, curators, and publishers, and announced on Sunday, 12 June at the closing of ELCAF 2016.

Good luck to all exhibitors, past and present!
