Promotion 2 Exclusive Feature MeEXCLUSIVE FEATURE ME PROMOTION

HISTORY OF THIS CONTEST
During February 2014, I held my first Exclusive Feature Me promotion where I selected and purchased (from 1500 images entered) ... 50 images and placed them into the stores in which I sold my artwork. This promotion was an educational contest for many to learn more about selling their image (greeting card) in other places. It was my hope, in our journey, to teach and give more exposure to member images. The talent of those entering was bar none and thank you for trusting me in the entire process.

OFFER OF NEW CONTEST - JURIED
I am the jury. I am the one purchasing your greeting card from FAA. Click on my Exclusive Feature Me group link for details (below) to understand how the process works. If selected, I would need your permission to purchase and resell in one of my stores.

READ ABOUT THIS CONTEST
Click on the link below to read about how this contest was conducted in 2014 and how it will be conducted for January 2015. Do not enter if you are uncertain about anything.

This is an educational contest re: marketing your greeting card image to a population different than your own. You get paid from FAA when I purchase your greeting card. I take your greeting card and professionally package it placing it on the shelves in one of my stores. The price I mark on the card will be around $3.00. Your name and FAA website are on the back of the card. I am bringing exposure to you by trying to educate you on selling in a different location other than your own.

TEN CHOSEN - WITH ALTERNATES
I will be choosing 10 greeting cards for this contest. You will be joining 15 remaining winners from 2014 along with my own artwork ... professionally packaged ... and placed on a shelf showcasing your art with your name and FAA website on the back. Alternates, not purchased, will be selected to be featured in the Exclusive Feature Me group.

LINK TO GROUP
You do not have to be a member of the Exclusive Feature Me group to enter. If your greeting card is selected, you will have to join the group so I can feature your image on the home page - but you do not have to remain in the group.

RULES:
1. You are eligible to participate if you were a previous winner.
2. You may enter up to THREE of your best images.
3. Try and select images you think would make a nice greeting card.
4. Understand it may take a year for me to sell your greeting card.
5. There is no financial gain on my part - this is an educational contest.
6. Your card will be priced at $3.00 (or less) in its reselling.
7. You get no additional royalties - only what FAA pays you when I buy the card.
8. This contest is for learning and exposure of your image.
9. You have all exclusive rights to your greeting card including image and name.
10. I do not and have never copied a members image (trustworthy).
11. Juried contest with my selection of all 10 greeting cards.
12. If selected, you will grant me permission to purchase and resell via FAA.
13. No nude images - my stores are family-friendly. Sorry.
14. Once your image sells, you receive a certificate with details and pictures.

IF YOUR IMAGE IS NOT SELECTED
I have had to pass up selecting many images during my first promotion due to price point via FAA. This is not to be taken as an insult. I live in an area where the population does spend $$$ for greeting cards. I will select alternates to be FEATURED (not purchased) in the Exclusive Feature Me group.

QUESTIONS
You can write me. Someone wrote me once and told me I was very selfless in purchasing and showcasing others work. I believe in FAA, creating and selling my own images, and helping others experience what it is like to sell in a location, other than their own. We both gain in the education of this process.

Good luck to all of you and thanks for your interest.
