what's up with all these fees to work?
Ok, this might be an old topic, but I couldn't find a thread on it. Sometimes I want to submit photos to magazines online and off and sometimes they require fees from $5 to $35 for contests. Is that normal? What's that all about? May 11 06 10:44 pm Link Yes...it is very common for magazines to charge an entry fee for contests May 11 06 10:52 pm Link Most contest that I have seen where you submit something required a fee. It's probably partly to pay for the prizes and to pay for whatever other administrative stuff that could be required. Fred, May 12 06 11:03 am Link I appreciate you both responding. I was wondering, because as a new model people are always trying to charge you something. I just wanted to know what's standard or not for the industry. May 12 06 11:11 am Link Additionally, many magazines charge a small fee to prevent people from simply tossing their whole portfolio over the fence to see what sticks. With a small fee, only those who truly believe in their work will submit. At least, that's the theory. May 12 06 11:21 am Link Fees are a normal part of many types of contests. They normally go to paying the prizes and covering the costs of the contest itself. BTW - before you submit images you may want to check with the photographer because many require that the submitter have a release to submit it from the copyright owner.
