Just more than two weeks are left for artists to apply to our annual Pacific Coast competition, one of our most anticipated and highly sought-after books of the year. Jurying the submissions this year is none other than Anne Ellegood, Senior Curator at the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles. We're thrilled to have Anne as our Pacific Coast juror for the 2011 competition, and we're excited to see the work from each of the artists who apply.

The Pacific Coast competition is open to artists living in AK, CA, HI, OR, and WA, and the deadline to apply is Thursday June 30, which is just around the corner, so get cracking.

Artists can now apply online! Simply visit our competition page and follow the instructions. It's easier than ever to apply. But do it by June 30!
