The three professional artworks that have set the pace – by French contemporary artist Kriki, studio Bonsoir Paris and Japanese paper artist Kako Ueda – will be given as the top prizes and have certainly set a high benchmark that competitors are determined to exceed.

About the New SKIN Colours
The virtue of SKIN is its homogeneity, intense matt colours, smooth and distinctively tactile surface and resistance to rubbing or finger marking. The four new colours – EMERALD, PURPLE, GREY and INDIGO - were inspired by trend forecaster
Edelkoort Studio to reflect the latest in contemporary fashion and design.
They join eight other SKIN colours, and already specified by luxury brand leaders. All are suitable for most print techniques and have excellent printability. The ultra matt SKIN range complements the refined Metallics, soft Touch, innovative Cosmic and eye-catching translucent papers that make up the Curious Collection.
