FAQ
Why is there a $3,000 nomination fee? Several reasons:
- ARTISTS TV broadcast packages are edited at $300 per hour. There is approximately 5-6 hours to prepare the editing, sound & graphics for each package in HDTV quality.
- VIP Dinner tickets to the event, Nominee & guest $600.
- Curation of Artwork, Artists Listing in publication, Administration costs, press releases etc. This is all co-opted to reduce costs to artists.
ADDITIONAL costs of Public Relations, Insurance, Advertising, Internet & consulting services are fees paid through the ARTV sponsoring program.
Compare these fees with a 3 days at ART Expo, a Monthly full-page ad in an Art Publication, or a retainer for publicists to get you a write up! There really isn't any comparison since this is a TV production, Red Carpet & formal event.
Why do I need a sponsor?
- You don't! However, it helps to support your campaign. Especially if you are short on funds.
- ARTV can advise you on how to find a sponsor, collector or Gallery to help support you through this campaign. Please inquire, about our program.
- A support team can help you with additional PR, group tickets to cheer you on at the event, advertising in our Annual publication, along with the sponsor's recognition.
* Advertising expenses are a 100% tax write off.
Any additional costs of traveling and hotels are ALL optional. Depending on where you reside, these expenses vary.
- ARTV sponsors several events per year for Nominees to meet with the press, collectors, industry professionals and the public. It is a matter of traveling to all or some of these events. Airline, Hotel & shipping of art works are the actual expenses. We do not want you to have any surprises and be prepared to take advantage of these opportunities as they are announced.
ARTV Qualifications are based on 3 factors:
- This program is about the ARTIST first and your creations! Unlike most competitions you get 3 chances with the judging panel. Your DVD, the actual artwork, and your interview.
- Your Mission statement, inspirations & themes are of interest to the viewing audience. Your ability to articulate this to the general public on camera is primary.
- You're Technical abilities. Methods & techniques used to create your work, and the execution of this process as an educational tool, is the criteria that will set you apart from the competition.
Have A Creative Day!
