This looks great. 35% commission is not bad, just adjust your price to make  
sure you do OK when something sells.  The following in the part that is of  
most interest to me:
 
USE OF IMAGES:
All entrants agree that any image they  submit to the Art of Photography Show 
may be used for marketing and promotional  purposes directly related to the 
Art of Photography Show. This use may include  publication in any Art of 
Photography Show publications, printed materials,  advertisements, or 
electronic 
media, including but not limited to the Art of  Photography Show web site, 
catalog, DVD, magazine, and gallery shows. Any image  used by the Art of 
Photography 
Show shall carry a credit line of the artist.  Copyright and all other rights 
remain that of the artist.
 
Some "contests" including those by our favorite camera manufacturer,  require 
you to give up your copyright.  Sometimes even if you don't "win"  anything, 
they want it.  Either way, I say stay away from folks that want  you to 
transfer your copyright to them.

I  enjoy entering exhibitions - hoping to get a little
recognition and  possibly marketing myself. I received
something via email for a show called  "The Art of
Photography". I came across a post someplace else
where it  was stated that the entry fee is high and the
show sponsors retain the  rights to use your photos to
market in the future". Neither of these are a  big deal
but I want to make sure the show is legitimate. 

I entered  a "contest" a couple of months ago..paying a
$4.00 entry fee and I have a  strong feeling that I got
taken for a ride. Nothing ever came out of  it...the
'website' stated that they would show winning photos
on the  site - that never happened. 

Anyway here is a portion of the  msg:

Call For Entries!
