DACs Payback for UK Pubs

As an artist or visual creator you can claim Payback royalties if your work has been featured in a UK book, magazine or included in a programme broadcast on BBC Digital or terrestrial television. DACS pays these roylaties to successful claimants in December each year. Read more here. http://www.dacs.org.uk/index.php?m=4

DACS is a membership based organisation representing 36,000 fine artists and their heirs, in addition to 16,000 photographers, illustrators, craftspeople, cartoonists, architects, animators and designers, including some of the biggest names in contemporary visual arts.

--- If you qualify, you have until Sept 30th to put in a claim! Many Thanks to UK Illustrator Lynne Chapman for the heads-up!

We could use the love on this side of the pond, too. awe... yeah!

I came across this entry this morning over at the Covering Media blog. The author covers the medal winners of the top three annuals, going back to the beginning of inception. Society of Illustrators, American Illustration Annual and Spectrum winners are listed. I checked out the SI wiki and see Gary Kelley has the top spot with 12 gold and 15 silver medals... WOW!

Here's the link to check the tally... Didn't I see your name up there too?
