An Open Call to professional Canadian-based artists for TOMPE2026 attracted 276 entries from 88 artists across Canada. Artists were invited to submit up to four original miniature prints in any printmaking medium or combination of mediums for consideration by a panel of three jurors:

Eric Euler, Visual Artist; Instructional Assistant (Printmaking), McMaster University
Cassandra Getty, Curator of Art, Museum London
Tricia Johnson, Visual Artist; Associate Dean Academic, Faculty of Arts & Humanities, Western University

After a challenging jurying process, 102 works by 71 artists were selected for the final exhibition, as well as First, Second, and Third prize winners, three Honourable Mentions, and the Japanese Paper Place Award for the best work on Japanese paper. The prize winners will be announced at the Opening Reception being held on November 12. The Opening Reception will include opening remarks by the jurors.
