Someone had a post about it the other day... it's a great deal... You pay them $150 and they get to keep your piece.

Let's see now, you pay him $150 to enter and he gets to keep the piece. Maybe we should explore that for the next WG@BE
On the plus side, he promises to give you credit for the piece and to sort it by size before he displays it.
Sure hope the show comes to my area. I'd like to know what "slump glass" is. Not to mention "nature styling" glass.

That promise to sort the work by size is certainly my main criteria for giving someone $150 to keep my work.
I hope no one has actually taken this guy up on this. Has anyone emailed him to ask him WHY they should participate in this scheme?
I just love that he has a yahoo email address.
Too funny!

There is another thread on this one already that is quite interesting. Don't recall the name of it, but I remember Kris did some local research.

This is me who put the first post. I received it a while ago and truly believe this is a scam.

The solicitation sure does not sound like it's on the up and up. I'm curious, what do people think the likelihood is that someone would actually think this is legitimate and send their money and work to the Art Glass Contest 2004? This worries me more than a little bit.

(working on that "nature styling" and then sorting it by size)

If you have received this email and truly believe it's a scam, you can report it. I found two Internet scam "watchdog" sites:
http://www.scamwatch.com
http://www.scambusters.org
I know nothing about either of these groups other than that I found them when I did a search on "internet scam*".
I am doing my final prep for a show this weekend and don't have time to look at the sites right now to see if it's on there already.
If anyone does this, I'd appreciate it if they'd report back.
