Never a city to limit who votes, Chicago even allows the dead to cast a ballot. But your work can live forever! Consider Archive10 as a reverse election. Each of your entries is treated like a political candidate, and each of our esteemed judges acts like the ultimate super delegate.
Still undecided? Okay, here’s a bribe (shh). Sonnenzimmer is creating a limited edition, signed & numbered poster to celebrate Archive10. We’re giving them away to the first 120 people who enter. BUT: You do have to pay the member or non-member entry fee – not the student entry fee – to get one.
All work must be produced between January 2009 and July 2010. Send your best work to the Archive10 campaign headquarters by the July 23, 2010 deadline. If you miss it, there’s a second-chance deadline one week later – July 30, 2010.
