The Graphic Artist Association of Lahti and Lahti Art Museum are pleased to invite artists to participate in the International Miniprint Finland 2007, a miniature graphics triennial to be held 16 November 2007 to 3 February 2008. The deadline for the competition is May 15, 2007. Miniprint Finland will be organized for the 6th time. It is an exceptionally comprehensive and notable graphic arts presentation both nationally and internationally. It has established its position among miniature graphic art exhibitions and the interest for the event has been constantly growing. The patron for the exhibition is Mrs Tarja Halonen, President of the Republic of Finland.

An international jury will select the works to be exhibited and distribute the prizes. The members of the Jury are graphic artist Sirje Eelma from Estonia, graphic artist Lars Wikström from Sweden, one of the prize winners of the 2004 Miniprint Triennial, graphic artist Johanna Kiivaskoski representing the Association of Finnish Printmakers, curator Maija-Riitta Kallio representing Lahti Art Museum and graphic artist Eija Piironen representing The Graphic Artist Association of Lahti. The winners of the Grand Prix prize of EUR 3,000 and two honorary prizes of EUR 1,500 will be published and the prizes awarded at the opening ceremony of the exhibition in November 2007.

A full colour catalogue portraying the exhibited prints will accompany the exhibition. The catalogue will be sold at Lahti Art Museum and in the shop of the Graphic Artist Association of Lahti at Art Brewery.

About 800 artists from 61 countries sent nearly 2800 prints the 2004 Miniprint Triennial and 331 prints from 203 artists representing 34 countries were selected by the jury to be exhibited. The winner of the Grand Prix was Kim Young-Hoon from the Republic of Korea.
