Important Update
I said I would send out contracts on May 12th but Iam working on some new business deals that may delay the contract. I'll try to put a sample up publicly so you can critique it, make suggestions but sign it cause I may have to add stuff to it.
reason for delay are:
-I want to add a Non-profit section where you may choose to donate an image where 100% of profit from that images goes to an art related charity such as [link] but I'd have to talk to the charity first to make sure their okay with. That would give you the opportunity to be charitable without sending money. Kinda what `ArtistsForCharity does except in a book.
-Have some meeting and seminars to look into
-Also wanna do a market analysis and survey so I'll have to so I'll have to show people your art. Not selling your art (not till I have proper permission) just gathering opinions to see where you art will sell.

Update May 7/08
The nice man from the BC government says the BC art council [link] doesn't provide grants for project such as the BOA.
If you google "your location" art council you'll probable find your own local art councils website they usually give out grants and scholarship which you can apply for. Try looking at you cities, province/state and even your federal art council. I emailed The Canadian Art Council and got a polite reply back the next day. They give out grants to books that are a 10,000 word minimum, contain Canadian art aswell as some other restriction like what publishers that can be used etc. The BOA is more image then text so I wouldn't think we'd hit 10,000, and I'm pretty sure the majority of us is from the U.S. not Canada. We have a few canadian, artists from United Kingdom, Brazil, Austrailia, Phillipines, Indonesia, Uruguay, Germany, Norway, Portugal, Bosnia, Singapore, Georgia, New Zealand, Singapore, Italy, Greece. We don't classify as Canadian content but that okay, we're international that's cool.
end update

Update May 9/08
I contacted `anthonyasael coordinator of of Artist in all of Us [link] and he's agreed to being the charity for the Non-profit section of the BOA.
End Update

There shall be 4 sections in the BOA

Open Print Section:
I'll select 100 images by several artists to be featured in this section.
Inorder to be part of this section you will need to provide me with high resolution files so that I can create.
Artists to be included in this section as long as they don't change their mind:

maybe:


Limited Edition Section:
I'll select up to 20 images by a few artists to be featured in this section.
Each artists is responsible for printing, signing and numbering their own limited editions.
Inorder to be part of this section you must prove your credibility by providing reference.
You will tell me a price for your limited and I'll add up to 50% on to that as a fee. For example if you say $100 for your limited then I'll add up to $50 to the price for my fee.
When a customer orders your limited, I paypal you the money plus shipping and you send the limited to the customer.


Commission Section:
I'll select up to 10 artists for the commission section.
You get a two page spread which features your rates and samples.
Again you must prove credibility with references.
And again you tell me a price, I add 50% to the price, that's my payment for finding the customer.
I'll contact you when commissions are found.

Maybe:


Business Card Section:
This is the only section of the book where your contact information can be show and it is the only section of the book that isn't free for you to publish but it's still cheap. It's $10 to get your business card into the BOA.
The business card would be printed at 3.5 x 2.5 inches (regular business card size) and you design your own business card so you choose the content. I just ask that you do not advertise hate or criminal activity, do not use work within your business card that is not copyright to you and be logical with how you design your business card, porn and profanity does not make you look professional and I will not print it withing the BOA.
