Hello again.

Herbie, I visited the link you posted, clicked on the Great Lakes Contest and didn't find a fee on the home page.

When I clicked on 2006 Contest, the fee was posted with the rest of the information. I didn't feel that this was wrong or misleading but also no more 'upfront' than our website.

Fair play regarding my photo Howard :-D I was hoping to capture my youth and semi-good looks to show off to the kids when they, eventually, go online. I'll change this though... ouch!

Joe, there is no need to enter unless you are absolutely confident about the service you can expect to receive. We are working on wonderful new things for emerging artists and there will be no fee to partake. We encourage individuals to keep an eye on us for a while before spending money on the contest... if ever.

We take pride in the knowledge that many entrants who entered in the past, entered or will enter again this year, even if they didn't even make the Honourable Mentions list in 2005.
