Dek Unu Says: News, Announcements, Calls
August 1, 2025
Winners Announced - International Exhibit and Book Launch
It is a real pleasure to announce the winners of Dek Unu Magazine’s summer contest - Tuŝis V – The Artist's Mark. Tuŝis means “touched” in Esperanto and the contest prospectus called for submissions of images that, through analog, digital, or hybrid processes, are “touched, manipulated, constructed, changed, shaped, tweaked, frobnicated, straightened, distorted, handled, molded, fixed, or transformed.” Subtle or dramatic, straight(ish) or strange, every artist's touch shows a presence, a meaning, an intention, a "soul" beyond literal subject matter. Dek Unu looked to create a collection which celebrates the crafted image, revealing the creative and expressive effects of each artist’s touch. From a very large number of submissions from North America, Latin America, Europe and Asia, the jury selected five finalists: Anne Eder, Carol Eisenberg, Diane Fenster, Jenny Pivor, and Nancy Bundy.
