I could go option "B" with a juried mug show for anyone who is
interested but does not like the original terms (see my post on 12/13).
That would mean that the applicants would need to send in a photo or their
mug along with a $10 application fee. Sales would be split 60/40
(artist/gallery) and the participants would be responsible for return
shipping costs should their mug(s) not sale. Does that sound more
reasonable? And if not then please let me know what a fair and reasonable
arrangement would be. I am always willing to listen to reason. ...

Marshall:
Why don't you just give the proceeds to charity? I'm sure no one would
begrudge you the tax write off, so you could at least get a little something
for yourself.

Marshal;
Forget all options as participants are now worried that your efforts are going
to make you rich. How fast we cross from the maker to the seller. From the
seller to the buyer, from the potter to the gallery keep.
If you still want to put your efforts toward showing the 101 Mug work, I
suggest you stay with plan A and add that participants can obtain, for a$10
entry fee, a photo of their cup with a certification that they participated in
the 101 Mug show. They must however let you have photo rights. Next,
transfer the photo collection to a CD of photos of all the mugs received and
then advertise to the participants that they can purchase a copy of the
collection on CD, sent to them, at a nominal fee, plus shipping and handling
and including sales taxes where available and also add 10 or 15 bucks for
export orders. Have a good photo shoot estimate, find a good multimedia man
to transpose the work to the disks, copy the disks as required. I am sure you
could parlez this effort into a yearly thing that generates millions for you
in the future. Of course you will have to give up pottery. Maybe even start
a 8 to 5 office job at some publishing house. You will have to hire a agent
to look after your affaires find a publication officer to boost sales and
maybe you will need to go on the lecture trail explaining how you got rich
from a bunch of potters who sent you mugs. Who knows maybe someone will ask
you how you made it to the top, in your chosen field. Which of course is not
pottery. You will then stop and think. What am I doing here? You will quit
and return to pottery which is more enjoyable.
Just a bit of satire.
