#printing-companies (1)

Hi-

I've been researching a number of show's entry rules, and I'm a little at a loss on this phrase about photographer's entries: ''Must be hand made or directly supervised by the artist'. This phrase pops up over and over and is used specifically in the rules for photographers, not just for other artists in other categories. It seems to put someone without a $4000 printer at something of a disadvantage. As an alternative, how is a photographer to 'directly supervise' the printer, who might be at some distance? Some rules even say that prints are not to be made by a 'commercial printing company.'

I'd appreciate help working around this verbiage. I'm sure it is much more 'artist friendly' than it appears.

Thanks,

David Perry Lawrence
