International Postcard Show 2027 - Open Call

Surface invites artists from across the world to participate in our annual International

Postcard Show.

All submissions will be included in this vibrant and hugely popular exhibition. The

International Postcard Show will feature hundreds of original creations in an array of different

media by established and aspiring artists from all over the world.

Artists can choose to have their work on sale during the exhibition; postcards will be priced

at £20 each. If postcards remain unsold, all participants can have the opportunity to

exchange their postcard with another artist, who will be randomly selected at the end of the

exhibition.

In the case of no sale or if you opt out of selling your work(s) and do not wish to take part in

the international exchange, your postcards will be returned to you via post following the

exhibition.

The deadline for submissions is 6pm, Wednesday 6th January 2027

We will be awarding prizes for the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place postcards, selected by the

exhibition coordinators. There will also be our annual People’s Prize, where visitors to the

exhibition will have a chance to vote for their favourite postcard. The creator of the selected

postcard will win a free exhibition in Le Loovre.
