Registration Details

Open and Featured Exhibition registration for the 2012 festival is now closed.

CONTACT registration is based on an Open Call for Exhibitions structure. Participants cannot register without a venue. Once you have a venue to exhibit your work, you may register for CONTACT on our website.

Benefits of registration include:
Exhibition listing with one image reproduction in the CONTACT festival magazine and website;
Extensive publicity and promotion of the festival;
Press access to your downloadable image on the CONTACT website;
CONTACT venue signage;
Free copies of the CONTACT Festival Magazine;
Option to sell your magazines for the cover price, and keep the proceeds.

The Open Exhibition registrant is responsible for all venue arrangements and exhibition installation requirements: CONTACT does not provide exhibition venues. Exhibitions must occur during the month of May, although they can begin before May 1, and end after May 31. We accept traditional exhibition venues as well as non-traditional exhibition spaces such as community centres, studios, cafes, shops, and restaurants. 

For CONTACT's curated programming–including Primary Exhibitions, Public Installations and Special Events–submissions are not solicted.

* Texts are carefully edited by CONTACT as we aim to clearly convey information about each exhibition and establish a consistent editorial standard in our publication.
