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.
