Trying something new...

I've decided to try something different: An Internet-based Raffle!

I know many people who want my artwork but simply don't have the money to afford it at this time. I know I have plenty of artwork that wants a good home. In an effort to make it more affordable I decided to hold an online raffle for my pieces. The original works of mine for maybe a few dollars!

Now I don't really know how many people read my blog so this may turn out to just be embarassing for me. In the same I think it may be the best way for me to get my stuff out there in the hands of those who really want it. The complete rules are in small type (you know, typical "legaleeze stuff) but here are the basics:

- To buy tickets simply make payments to PayPal (pay to the Roy@theCreativRoy.com account).

- Every ¢ counts as a ticket entry. If you put in $5.00 you bought 500 tickets.

- You must make a minimum of $2.00 (USD) but may purchase a higher amount

- The raffle is held on Monday before 11:59pm (night) unless the next Monday is 7 days or less away

- By purchasing the tickets you acknowledge & agree to the detailed rules below

That's basically it. Yep, you can own some of my art for that low amount. Winners will be contacted & announced on the website. Have fun!

Our first item up for raffle is Sunflowers and Barn:

Total tickets sold must be at least $20

Because this was started on a Wednesday the actual drawing for the raffle won't take place this upcoming Monday (28th) but the following Monday (Jul 5th).

Good luck!

TTFN, TTYL

Detailed Rules

Announced items being raffled will be raffled off the next Monday (before midnight Monday night) unless there were less than 7 days at which point it will be the following Monday.

All entries have a $2.00 minimum payment via PayPal (fees excluded)

Entries must be received before 12:01am on the Monday (morning) of the raffle

Every ¢ is an entry ticket in the raffle. $2.00 (not including any PayPal fees) equals 200 tickets. $2.01 purchases 201 tickets.

PayPal entrants are individualized per email identity. If the same person uses multiple emails to make multiple purchases they are treated as multiple entrants.

Annonymous, malformed contact information, or unreachable entrants (after 1 month of trying) are treated as donations (I can't reach you if you won anyway!)

If the minimum entries has not been purchased before 12:01a Monday (morning) entrees will be returned (PayPal fees will not be reimbursed, sorry).

Winners are responsible for shipping fees without any markup. The shipping fees include packaging (protective wrap, packing material, boxes, etc.) & postage fees (all items' default delivery company will be USPS). Insurance is available upon request.

theCreativeRoy (Roy W. Jones) retains all rights to the image, duplication, reproduction, promotions, or other intellectual rights to any artwork raffled off.
