[18:17] Eleven Vella: Ryan recently posted some info on seds.org [18:18] Eleven Vella: Alright [18:18] Eleven Vella: moving on [18:18] Eleven Vella: Regarding the Art Project [18:19] Eleven Vella: Any thoughts on combining the applicants for the ARt award as well? [18:19] Eleven Vella: MArk Craig has offered to try to get an original piece of space artwork as the prize [18:19] Eleven Vella: and I would hate to accept it if we don't have enough applicants for the award [18:20] RolandBolser Voom: as the prize? [18:20] Eleven Vella: yes as the prize [18:20] RolandBolser Voom: this competition is supposed to get them interested in space art I thought [18:20] Eleven Vella: yes [18:20] RolandBolser Voom: giving that prize narrows the field considerably [18:21] You: hmmm [18:21] You: (sorry was afk)) [18:21] You: If we get something donated as a prize [18:21] You: sure [18:21] You: right now we're not exactly finding an surplus of donations or applicants [18:21] You: then again advertising it is a bitch [18:21] RolandBolser Voom: artists are poor and giving away a work of art for a work of art doesn't seem like the most attractive option in terms of a prize [18:22] You: we really need funds to send out mailings to all the art colleges [18:22] Eleven Vella: When were you planning on announcing the winner of the art prize? [18:22] Eleven Vella: at the conference? [18:22] You: yup [18:22] Carissa Lisle is Offline [18:22] Eleven Vella: then perhaps we should use Mark's donation as part of the award for the Art contest winner [18:22] Eleven Vella: and not have the SEDS artsit award b/c it is redundant [18:23] Eleven Vella: we can make it the journalist award instead [18:23] Eleven Vella: what do you think? [18:23] You: rewind a second [18:24] RolandBolser Voom: sounds good to me [18:24] You: so what are the conditions of the offering? [18:24] You: "Any thoughts on combining the applicants for the ARt award as well?" [18:24] Eleven Vella: I don't think there are conditions, he was going to find something to donate for the award [18:24] You: cool [18:25] You: yeah we can have that as a grand prize [18:25] You: and then use lesser donations for a second and third [18:25] Eleven Vella: making the SEDS artist of the year winner the same as the Art Project winner [18:25] You: I might just scrap the different categories [18:25] Eleven Vella: ok [18:25] You: not enough applicants/prizes right now [18:26] Eleven Vella: exactly, that is what I was worried about [18:26] Eleven Vella: do what you think is best [18:26] You: hopefully future years will attract more [18:26] Eleven Vella: yeah [18:26] Eleven Vella: ok good deal [18:26] You: could you pass on the info for me? [18:26] You: so I can find out exactly what he would like to offer, etc..
