Wow – Talk about putting the site on the map.

Anyways, I do believe in covering your costs but some of the charges that I was telling my readers to watch out for for example on the Art Exhibit -

5. All profits generated by the sale of artwork will be split by the artist and MuslimFest as follows:
15% MuslimFest
85% Artist

Basically I wanted people to READ the small print so that they aren’t shocked later on and create some fatwa against the organisers.

I hope that cleared a few things – Now I’m off to find me some cheesecake!

I was doing a quick online presence check and saw your post Thanks for your help… we greatly appreciate it.

About the “hidden costs”, I am not really sure what you are referring to All costs are part of the applications and are all used to cover a small portion of the cost of the activities Here is a quick breakdown to give you an idea

Art Exhibit: Venue rent, reception cost, mailing, exhibit flyer printing, awards, etc..

FilmFestival: venue rent, technical rent (projector etc..), technical labour.

Rising Talent Performances: stage rent, stage hands labour costs, technical rent (mics, monitors, speakers, etc..)
