II- The Q-Record section:

Q: What is the Q-Record?
A: The Q-Record is a collaborative effort to fill a gap. It is a push to stir the creative effort of the Lebanese artists and designers into a specific area where artworks, designs, and productions are lacking, so that they might develop something out of it eventually. This is a Quarterly section of the website. This section depends heavily on submissions from Lebanese artists who are interested in the subject matter presented every quarter. Therefore, participation is heavily encouraged.
Q: Who are we targeting in this section?
A: We are targeting everybody with our submissions. The style is left to the artist. We will publish all the entries that meet the criteria we set, with credits to the artist. Please remember that we are not classifying, we are only disseminating.
Q: What's in it for the artists?
A: Publicity and exposure.
Q: Will there be any further incentives?
A: lebrecord.com might change this section in the future to a permanent competition, when enough funds become available for this to happen. For now, there are no plans to do that, just a possibility. Please remember that we are a non-profit organization. Our aim is to disseminate artwork of Lebanese visual artists. We are planning for the website to sustain itself through a couple of advertisements, and probably an online store, where we will be selling some postcards, and perhaps T-Shirts. We are all artists, graphic designer, architects, etc. who realized that there is no proper outlet, especially on the internet, for disseminating the work of Lebanese artists. It's a collaboration project.
