what is this question about? Not sure why would someone want to know that and why it would matter?
Easy boys, no need to put words in my mouth. I was merely asking for the sake of transparency.
The question itself seemed quite clear to me, not sure if you're looking for clarification our just taking a poke at me. I think it's a perfectly relevant question when someone is asking you send your original artwork, pay for shipping and not to expect ever to see your artwork again. In my experience it's just important to be clear and transparent with the moneyflow, when you expect people to work for free while you're getting paid yourself - you don't want to be the new Montana aye? This is especially relevant in a growing underground sport as bike polo, where big companies and other opportunists are bound to try to get a piece of the growing cake. It was nothing personal with Eugène and Yaralt, they probably did way more for bike polo than I did and I wish them the best of luck with the exhibition,
of course treo would want to know if someone is getting paid. with the theory that the organiser should be paid last after all other concievable costs are accounted for, I suspect. Its really rather hard to justify imho, why this thought prevails. lots of people go into debt to help a community or project they love, its not something I agree with. It's fair that someone get their costs and time covered if they are doing something like this.
i suspect Treo wants to know because this would show some sort of "injustice" but I could be wrong, maybe Treo wants to help cover the costs!
Your theory is not completely off, but not accurate either. I personally believe that if you expect others to sacrifice the time to create artwork, shipping costs and loss of artwork without any form of compensation, organizers should generally accept loss themselves.
"lots of people go into debt to help a community or project they love, its not something I agree with. It's fair that someone get their costs and time covered if they are doing something like this."
Exactly, but does this not count for the artists as well? I'm not saying the artists should be paid X amount of pounds for their artwork and that the organizers should accept a personal. But ideally (for me) the organizers should not put money in their own pockets without atleast helping with shipping costs.
Edit: I was just trying to make a general point, I don't know their budget and they are probably loosing money on it anyway, I just believe it's important to put all the cards out there.
