CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
Moniker Custom Screen Printing and Design invites you to participate in an apparel exhibition that will take place on April 18th and 19th, 2009 at 135 Van Horne, Montréal, Quebec, Canada.
We at Moniker would like to provide a chance for aspiring and established artists to exhibit their work on a moving canvas. Being a part of this collection will provide each designer with onsite, online, catalog, and street talk promotion for their artistic practice. As a participating artist, you will become a part of an already expanding community connected within the Moniker collective, throughout Montréal and to the rest of the world.
Machine Wash Cold is the second annual event in which Moniker will jury and select 15 T-shirt (or other apparel) designs created by a variety of artists living in Montréal and beyond. These designs will make up the 2009/2010 Moniker Design Collection. The designs that are accepted will be printed by the screen printing staff at Moniker’s studio, all costs covered by Moniker Designs. Items of apparel will be available in limited runs of thirty, twenty of which will be available for sale throughout the two day exhibition. The remaining items will be available for special size orders and will be printed after the exhibition.
When sold, every piece of apparel will be accompanied by a tag stating the designer’s name and contact info for the purchaser’s further inquiries into the designer’s artistic endeavors. The 2009 collection, accompanied by the designers’ information and links will be featured and for sale as of April 20th, 2009 on the Moniker website ( www.monikerdesigns.ca ).
In addition to the exposure gained through the various methods of promotion stated above, the accepted designers will have three choices for material compensation:

And will be compensated 10% of the revenue generated from the sale of their apparel sold throughout the duration of the exhibition (April 18th – 19th, 2009). (Eg. If the piece of apparel costs $30.00/unit the designer will receive $3.00/unit sold)
