Good going Liam!! Congrats...

Question: Will copies of the new Caedes.net poster only be availible to certain people? That's the impression I'm getting from the awards...

No No No!!!! I'm just being cheap and letting the winners buy the poster at cost. I can get the poster for $12, but it costs more if someone else were to buy it. I was really wanting to give away the posters for free (to the winners), but that would really cut into the money that I was hoping to use to buy a new server.

Still a little in the dark here... sorry but...

"I'm just being cheap and letting the winners buy the poster at cost." what does "at cost" mean? The way I read it is that you are letting the winners buy the poster and then I think as opposed to the non-winners who don't get to buy the poster?? But you said that's not right. So I guess my question is will I get to buy the poster?

Beowulf: Caedes is having them printed by daprints, a company that makes and ships prints from art that artists upload. The idea is that after printing and shipping cost, DA takes a cut, and Caedes gets a cut (for a new server).
Caedes is giving up his profit for the winners of the contest, so that it's cheaper for them, and because it would seriously eat profits on a low-margin item if he had to buy a few of them, from daprints, to then give away. Poster-sized printing ain't cheap. My school charges students almost $3 per foot of length to print on 3 foot wide glossy paper, and they aren't even trying to turn a profit.
At least, that's how I understand it... :-)

Yes I think so, as long as you have a credit card. If not I can just order it for you and then fly to your house and deliver it in person. You live in Frace right?
