    what about this:

    Speculative work—work done without compensation in the hope of being RECOGNIZED, for the American Institute of Graphic Arts speculation. But in order to participate you need to pay membership fees (an average $235 a year).

    how is that not spec work again?

    • no, cause you pay. they don't pay you. in anyway.akrokdesign
    • more like Volunteer work or pro bono. something in between.akrokdesign
    • but yes, pay to do FREE work. isn't the brightest.akrokdesign
    • but people that do participate, hope to get recognition, that, specially in this industry, can as valuable as moneyMeeklo
    • to me, their definition of spec work, is politically well written in order to accommodate their own agenda. that's just me thoughMeeklo
    • now, back to fixing my car. i need double turbos on it. lol.akrokdesign
