Question for mods: art submission call
PostPosted: Fri Oct 20, 2006 6:46 am
There seem to be some aspiring artists around here, and frankly I'm becoming fed up with the art department I've currently contracted to illustrate the covers of my novel. Ideally, I would prefer to contract someone based on individual talent (i.e. not an art department where talent moves in and out), and based on whether the someone can sell me on being able to produce art I want to have representing my product.
My questions are:
1.) Does CAA have a policy on art submission calls for reimbursed useage outside CAA (ultimately)?
2.) If so, where exactly would I go on the site to promote and host this?
Note: I am a registered tax-paying business in the state of TN, and would be contracting someone (or more than one artist) to create material for which they would be reimbursed on a royalty basis (per unit sold). All expenses are covered by me (well, other than internet connections and junk to get the art to me. {g}) Part of the point to doing this publicly would be as de facto copyright protection for submitting artists.
Recommendations? Prohibitions?

We haven't had too many calls for this kind of thing. I will, however, bring this thread to attention of the other moderators, and we'll see what they think.
