Overview
The Book As Art v.14: Ghosted is the fourteenth annual showcase featuring creative interpretations of the book format.

Wall-hung and digital interpretations of the book are encouraged.
Theme: Ghosted
Artists are invited to explore ghosts, phantom presences, and modern digital disappearance. The theme examines dualities and paradoxes of communication—celebrating the macabre and mysterious, the familiar and fantastic, the clear and cryptic.
