Contest Rules

Surprised it SoldWe all upload work that we find potentially useful to prospective buyers. But, every now and then we get a sale on a piece that, well, may not be a personal favorite from our own collection and say (cheerfully) to ourselves, 'wow, I did not expect this one to sell.'

Upload up to 3 of these 'surprises'.

1) Must have evidence of the fact it was sold in the comments - something to the effect of 'Congrats on your sale.', etc.

2) Please, only pieces that were bought by someone you don't know - i.e. not bought by you or family/friends.

3) This is a bit counter intuitive to most contests, but vote only for the images you yourself think 'wow, I can't believe that sold either.'

4) PLEASE, only work/family friendly works of any medium.

Obviously, you have to have a bit of a thick skin to enter this contest as winning would be sort of a backhanded compliment.

Meant for fun and to see some of the subjects that we would not normally think buyers would be interested in.
