A Special Display At The Louvre Museum In Paris

Hello Artist Friends.

I am a member of FAA. I like to request you, if it is possible for you.


I need your help.

My portfolio of images is eligible to be part of a special digital display at the Louvre Museum in Paris. Vote for me to help get me there. Click on the link below and vote if you post a comment I will have a better chance. I need to get 100 vote and 100 comments (I already have 52 votes).

PLEASE HELP.

I go to the Louvre at least once a month and I have spoken to several curators. They are unaware of a digital showing. Can you please give me the name of the showing and the dates. I would like to attend.

As I was told by the organizers the date is suppose to be July 13. Here is the organizer's info:

Please, if possible for you, could find out from the Louvre Museum (ASAP) if this is a hoax!!! Nowadays you never know.

Thank you.

I would suggest contacting the Louvre directly....I've seen to many of these show your art on line schemes just so they can lift your work. Greece?

I have just sent an email to the Louvre Museum in Paris to confirm this event. I am getting a feeling that you may be right as this is too good to be true. I appreciate you questioning this.

Thank you Monsieur Danl.

The organization is real. Many if not most people who enter lose. Only a few win.

You need to have the most comments and votes to win the non paid category.

There are a handful of winners in the paid category, but dont ask me what the exact numbers are.
I have no idea yet.

The organization runs many contests every year.

There is a large group of disaffected losers who hate this company. They say the company is a scam.
It is not a scam. But again only a few people will win.

In their small print they discuss AbSOLUTELY NOT profiting off anyone else's work, only their running of the competitions
is profitable for them. The only rights you have given are free use of your images in their advertizing. That though for any of us
are low odds, they have millions of photos every year to choose from. Unless you win out right their interest in any of our images
for distribution is not really there.


You have some great work. That is what matters. I can afford the $55 roll of the dice. But the strong odds are the money is gone for nothing.
That does not make this a scam.

Art Takes Times Square[edit]
In 2012, See.me teamed up with chashama and the Times Square Alliance to host 'Art Takes Times Square'. The competition's grand prize winner, Vicki DaSilva, had her chosen work, 'Jasmine/Never Sorry (for Ai Weiwei)' (2011)[5] shown on several Times Square billboards from the unveiling event on June 18 through to July 31, 2012.[6]

Around 5000 competition participants had their work shown on specially erected digital billboards at the June 18th event. In total, 35,000 artists entered the competition. Several news outlets including the New York Times, ABC and NY1 covered the event.[3][7][8][9][10]

Hermu,

Note 5000 had some sort of reward, the company involved folks. But how many won a cash prize? very few probably. Then 30,000 people got nothing. Since people
can say whatever they want, a few folks take the internet to denounce the company.

I called the Louvre and they suggested that you get an agenda from the contest host. That is all they could tell me. Perhaps the host could tell you which section of the Louvre will be displaying the entries.
