If you will take the time to review the activities of the Center by visiting its website www.c4fap.org you will discover that in the past year it hosted an international exhibition representing 123 artists from 11 countries. The national exposure this exhibition generated provided many of the artists with new opportunities and sales.

The main reason IMO consider it SPAM is the way the entry costs are hidden. The prize amount is splashed over the emails, on the front page of the site. To find out the cost you have to download the entry form (ie: you have to be at the point os intending top submit).
It might not sound much to chaps in the affluent US of A, but $10 just to look at an image on a CD sounds quite a lot to me.
What fraction of submissions are likely to be accepted? Surely that info is available from earlier rounds.
Mmmm. .. send me 10 dollars and an image by email. I'll publish my choice of winner and the prize will be half the total "take". That way there will be more than one winner :o)
