Call For Photographers And Digital Artists

Where are the rules, terms, and conditions? There are none on the page you linked, nor could I find a link on the page to the terms and conditions.

i thought the original message said $15, did it go up?


---Mike Savad

It did...five dollars.

that was fast. can't wait to see how much it will be tomorrow. and i though $15 was too much.


---Mike Savad

Heck was looking through the site and they want $75 for you to just be in the online mag and that doesn't include fees for the contest thingy they have on their site.

Isn't the usual way that THE ARTIST SHOULD GET PAID for image usages?

Think I'll be avoiding this one. In fact, I notice a lot of this type of publication purporting artist visibility (invariably unquantifiable) for cash. They're all starting to look and get bunched the same - ways to try and get cash out of vulnerable artists. My view :)

http://www.artandbeyondpublications.com/membership/ab-online-entry/art-beyond-competition-for-special-issue-photography-and-digital-art/ this page shows $20

http://www.artandbeyondpublications.com/cover-competition/ this one shows $15

and yeah, i sure can't find the terms. like what happens to the image if i don't win? the last guy to post contest here had terms that let them use the image any way they wanted whether you won or lost. they would remove anything with a watermark. they just wanted the stock image. the only prize here is to be in some magazine i never heard of.

If you have to pay to submit it's best to avoid it.

Mila, I can sell you a couple of my images for $200, but not vice versa. I have no images which worth to be displayed for payment.

Yep, now way for me to pay to enter....you all know to be carefull of the terms...they will probably make a killing on entries!!!!

What is 300 DPI in a digital file? So, say I have a 6000x4000 pixel digital file, is that 300 DPI? Well, it is if you print it at 20 inches. What if I sent a 600x400 pixel image? I suppose that would be 300 DPI if you printed it at 2 inches. Or, can I just tell my editing software to label said file to call whatever file it saves is 300 DPI even if it is 900 pixels wide.

There is no such thing as DPI until you give the digital file the context of an actual size it will be printed or displayed. (Which, technically, on a computer it would then be PPI and not DPI.)

What a scam!!

it's funny how no one ever comes back to these intro's to a contest. i guess she could be at work or something. but so far no one has ever come back to answer these things. i guess i could mail them, but, i'm not all that interested.

SCAM. I've been published in four hardcover books that have all been registered with the library of congress. The publisher contacted me and asked me to submit my works and not once asked for money The only thing I had to do was purchase the book if I wanted a copy.
