Our intent is to get into the habit of buying tiki chess sets from the artist. We do not carve tikis ourselves. We just don't want to see a competitor using or selling the designs we paid for against us. On 2004-03-10 20:03, Mrs. B wrote: For the winners, we will be buying the designs for the prize money. Will you actually be purchasing the design for $200.00 top pay? Or, does the artist hold the artistic concept until a contract is agreed upon? If no contract is signed with the artist, who, according to your company, owns the rights to the design? Thanks for your time. [ Edited by: Mrs. B on 2004-03-10 20:12 ]
