beth,

    kinda sound to me like those poetry competitions in magazines  entry
    fee, and oh, you won a place in a crappy book....or the best of the
    best or who's who...you've been picked and for $75.00 you can buy a
    book with your name in it. 

    You would think for such a large production that someone would have
    heard of this....and art is such a broad and subjective area to
    "judge" on.  Let's see what everyone else says, but something sounds
    kinda stinky.  It's just such a shame that people like this prey upon
    poor unsuspecting souls who are less then world weary.  even if it's
    true....they will charge you $25 for 3 slides ....accept a couple
    hundred images and then charge an exhuberant amount of money for the
    book....I have also seen this with photo comps..the only people
    buying the book are the people featured in it, and don't worry, on
    top of the "book fee" of at least more than $50.00 and an entry free
    of and additional $30.00 or so, you are doing nothing buyt buying
    your way into a book....what a scam.  what a shame. 

    I think everything in this world should be on the up and up.
