		<description>Thank you for that Regine.  It would appear that there has been no announcement of any winners in the competition that was to have ended in February.  Looking at their website they appear to still be buying paintings and there is a very curious note that reads:

We are glad to inform you that despite the reliable guard of Château des Réaux, all the paintings were moved to the special safe till the end of organization of the exhibition.  All the necessary conditions for the good conservation of the paintings are observed. 

What does that actually mean?  Maybe you should ask Chateau Reaux for a list of the winners of the competition?  I wonder where these paintings end up?  Our best guess is that they are sold for a huge profit in Paris or other major city galleries.  Is that what they mean by "the special safe"?</description>

		<description>Hi everybody, we are in 2009 by now, no news about the contest or exhibition at the Chateau des Reaux. I had a painting with legs - female legs -  and I was willing to sell it for 305 Euros. since I wouldn't have sold it anywhere else, I guess.
I delivered the painting personnaly to the chateaux and was payed some weeks later. 
I was very curious about that strange story, that was why I wanted to go there - being in France anyway. TBut they didn't invite me inside.......
I also tried to google that poet and the academie mazarine. I didn't find any site about the academie. If you google the name of the "president" who signes the marvellous paper "Mérite et devoument aux arts" , Mr. J.Fautous you'll find a very amusing site on artmajeur full of funny titles and decorations ;-)
So let's see what happens next..........</description>

		<description>Well, Evelyne, we do already have another artist expressing their satisfaction with Château des Réaux as you'll see if you look through the comments.  All the best.</description>

		<description>merci de vos bons souhaits, je peux vous dire simplement, mon plaisir d'avoir participé, peu importe les lois du marché, le plaisir de la création doit être le plus le plus fort ... je m'étonne tout de même d'être la seule à être satisfaite. j'ai découvert votre site en surfant au  fil de ma curiosité, sans doute d'autres participants satisfaits ne sont pas au courant de vos recherches. dans tous les cas merci pour votre blog. j'espère correspondre avec vous encore. je vais m'absenter en fin de semaine. je m'informerai en revenant début septembre sur l'évolution en espérant que vous rencontriez d'autres artistes satisfaits.</description>

		<description>Yes, it is a choice and although a professional artist is unlikely to consider 305 Euros a fair price for their work maybe amateurs will.  However, when you talk about artists participating it is clear from the contract that although artists are legally able to assert their authorship of the painting they have transferred full rights on Château des Réaux are not legally bound to do the same.  They don't have to say who painted it.  This is a choice they can make at any time.  Anyway, we are pleased to hear from someone who has submitted a painting and been paid for it and we wish you all the best with your artistic endeavours.</description>

		<description>je voulais aussi répondre en ce qui concerne le jury, j'habite très loin du chateau des réaux dans le sud de la france tout près de carcassonne, et il me semble que le choix du jury incombe aux organisateurs et non aux participants. ensuite, ce concours est organisé en france il est normal que des personalités du "lieu" du concours soit sollicitées (d'autant plus que ce concours est fait pour fêter les 600 ans du chateau). on ne participe pas aux jeux olympiques que je sache. c'est mon opinion bien sûr, je pense que les artistes ne sont pas "obligés" de participer. "cela reste un choix". peu importe la "valeur" artistique du participant. (van gogh aurait été bien mal placé "de son vivant" dans le critère des cotations).</description>

		<description>je ne trouve pas que 305 euros soit un prix bas, je le trouve très honnête en fonction du travail demandé ; de plus la peinture à l'huile n'est pas imposée, tout autre façon de peindre est acceptée. pour ma part j'ai envoyé un tableau acrylique et il a été accepté. j'estime que les participants non pas à faire un "chef d'oeuvre" ce n'est qu'un concours après tout et très amusant qui plus est. pour ma part je l'ai considéré comme tel et je n'ai pas cherché de problème de toute façon là où il n'y en a pas.</description>
