Distribution Pica is available in a dozen outlets in Montreal, including Multimags, the CCA and Format bookstores. B Awards and Reputation

7 Play Play is a state of mind where a voluntary activity, often ruled by constraints, puts a subject in interaction with a fictitious environment. It encourages an exploratory area that is completely isolated from the context of our daily lives. This year s theme offers a paradoxical field of study where perspectives are renewed. Play offers an enclosed creative space, limitless if not for the constraints that are self-imposed. This year s theme wishes to support intellectual practice and offers a paradoxal field of study where interdisciplinary collaborations are encouraged, as is the abandonment of restrictions in a state of freedom. The possible is for the man that thinks it. It is there, in man, that there is play. In the design field, play is defined by exploration within councious boundaries and the capacity to invent and innovate within them. How can interaction with those limits fuel creativity? Must the imaginary be ruled by boundaries to be propelled? C Play

10 Exclusivity It is crucial that submitted visuals are produced exclusively for Pica. We will not be able to accept prior creations that have already been published. Our magazine has always taken great pride in the freshness of its content. The quality of the final product vastly benefits from the exclusive nature of the published material. Selection The selection process is influenced by numerous factors such as the nature of the visual, the proportion of participating students from UQAM, etc. We will contact every creator, whether the submission is accepted or not, briefly after the content selection. We thank you for understanding the constraints that will guide our choices during the selection process for the 7 th edition of Pica magazine. E Exclusivity and Selection
