Further information:
1-What is the goal of the project? It is not a competition (yet). It is an push to stir the creative effort of the Lebanese artists and designers into a specific area where artworks, designs, and productions are lacking, so that they might develop something out of it eventually.
2- What about copyright? All artists retain the copyright and intellectual rights of the materials for their artwork. Lebrecord.com will publish the artwork, and will have the right to republish that specific piece later on, let's say at the end of the year, when we will re-publish the material on paper, or when we will publicize the work of the artists and the materials that are published online. We will retain the right to publish that specific drawing with credits to the author, let's say, on a postcard collection of select heroes from the publication. The purpose is to advertise the artist, and give her/him exposure.
3- Who are we targeting with our submissions? We are targeting everybody with our submissions. The style is left to the artist. We will publish all the entries that meet the criteria we set, with credits to the artist. Please remember that we are not classifying. We are only disseminating.
4- What's in it for the artists? Publicity and exposure. We are a non-profit organization. Our aim is to disseminate artwork of Lebanese visual artists. We are planning for the magazine to self sustain itself through a couple of advertisements, and the store, where we will be selling some postcards, and perhaps T-Shirts. We are all artists, Graphic designer, architects, etc. who realized that there is no proper outlet, especially on the internet, for disseminating the work of Lebanese artists. It's a collaboration project.
