In the traditional job market in the United States it is illegal to ask for
money from a job applicant yet in the art world it is not only acceptable, it is
almost universal. What is the difference, to me I see none and find it extreamly
exploitative. Here are two examples from my inbox today.

justifique está explotación. Dos ejemplos de esta práctica

Today I was looking for video art festivals in europe and found that some are starting to charge, like a festival in rome wanted 15 euro to submit an entry. I am providing free content for their festival, I should pay for this privilage? Fight this when you see it or it will only grow.
