The Southeast Chapter of the Art Libraries Society of North America (ARLIS/NA)
is pleased to announce the

23rd Annual Mary Ellen LoPresti Art Publication Awards Competition
for 2006 Publications.

The Art Libraries Society of North America (ARLIS/NA) is the largest international professional organization devoted to art librarianship. The Southeast Chapter of ARLIS/NA established the LoPresti Publication Award Competition in 1985 to recognize and encourage excellence in art publications issued in the Southeastern United States. The publication awards are named for Mary Ellen LoPresti, who was the Design Librarian at the Harrye B. Lyons Design Library, North Carolina State University, until her death in 1985.

Museums and galleries, educational institutions, libraries, organizations and commercial presses are encouraged to submit publications for consideration. All publications will be judged on the quality of content and format within the appropriate category. The number of items that may be submitted is not restricted. Only those art and architecture books, exhibition catalogues, electonic publications (DVD format), serials, and artist's books published/copyrighted during the 2005 calendar year in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Puerto Rico, South Carolina, Tennessee, or the Virgin Islands are eligible for consideration. In-house newsletters, posters, invitations and other promotional material will not be considered.

Entries should be received by August 31, 2007 to be considered. There is no entry fee, but ARLIS/SE reserves the right to retain all works submitted for consideration.
