who ARE these people, and where do they get their arrogance? "all rights of origin and personal property" - what does it mean? they get your children and their crib and clothing too? honestly, who would send them anything?

I carefully ready the prospectus and bewilderedly emailed a request for clarification to the organizers.

Their reply was:

"The sponsor retains ownership of the artwork in the private collection. Please make sure you read the rules carefully. It is clearly described. thanks."
