It's that time again: every three years, the town of Bietigheim-Bissingen awards the "Linocut Today" graphic design prize, now in its thirteenth year. Founded in 1989, the prize has long since become an institution and has established itself as one of the most important international graphic design awards: its focus on a single technique is also an absolutely unique selling point. The past twelve competitions have always received around 500 entries from all over the world. All forms of artistic linocut are welcome: from small-format black and white sheets to huge colorful works. There are no limits to imagination and creativity! The works to be submitted must not have been created before 2022 and must not have been involved in any other competition. The deadline for submitting photos for pre-selection is December 1 using the forms available for download here. The next round, i.e. the submission of originals, is scheduled for February 2025. A five-member jury will then meet in April and select three prize winners and three artists whose works will be purchased for the Städtische Galerie's collection: Dr. Marina von Assel (former director of the Kunstmuseum Bayreuth), Dr. Thomas Köllhofer (curator of the Graphic Collection, Kunsthalle Mannheim), Sebastian Speckmann (1st prize winner of "Linolschnitt heute VII", 2007) as well as Dr. Isabell Schenk-Weininger (director of the Städtische Galerie Bietigheim-Bissingen) and Michaela Ruof (director of the Cultural Office of the City of Bietigheim-Bissingen). The varied exhibition "Linocut Today XIII" with the works of around 30-40 selected artists will then start on July 25, 2025.
