If you're looking for a proven system to market your photography to a world of buyers, quickly and easily, without the technical headaches and without having to become a web-marketing guru, then this could be the most important web page you ever read! Introducing the 100% Stock Photography Co-op! "Who Else Wants A Complete Stock Photography Business-In-A-Box For Less Than $1 A Day?"   Dear Fellow Photographer There are a lot of online stock outlets available these days and if you're here reading this then I'm guessing you've seen a few already and you probably weren't all that impressed ... Unbelievably most libraries will still try and take 50% of all your sales, for no other reason than that's what they've always done. Others will still insist on exclusive contracts, despite the fact that no one has worked with film originals for years. Few will give you any control over where your images are used and what is paid for them. In most cases you just supply the product then go along for the ride. Many will want you to give up all rights to your images and pretend that it makes no difference where an image has been used before, or where it might turn up next. Still others will even try to tell you that giving your images away for peanuts makes good business-sense ... if you do it often enough! And of course they'll all try to tell you ... directly or implied ... that if you don't do it, someone else will. Take it or leave it, we don't care ... Well if you've got 20 minutes to spare, I'd like to show you a better way to market your images and grow your photography business. I guarantee you it will be totally different to anything you might have seen so far. What's more, it's a system that hundreds of photographers are using right now to market their work and still keep control of their business, their photos and their profits. It's the 100% Stock Photography Co-Op You get a 100% complete online photography business ... plug-and-play ... just add your images and you're ready to go. You keep 100% control of your photos, we don't handle your originals and we don't require exclusive access to your work. You keep 100% control of your business, you set your prices, you deal with the buyers and you always have the final say. You keep 100% of your sales, we charge no commission whatsoever. Does that sound like it could work for you? I'd be surprised if you said 'no' but first and foremost, you should realise that this is a business partnership. If you're looking to make loose change from your hobby, you're in the wrong place. This is a serious business opportunity for experienced photographers only. So if that sounds like you, and you're looking for a ready-to-go platform to market your work and build your business, while keeping total control of your images, then please read on ... There is a lot of information here though, so I'd suggest you go make a cuppa, take the phone of the hook and get comfortable. We're about to work out if we can and should do business together, so the first step of that process is for you to understand exactly what we're offering. There is no point rushing that. If you haven't got time for this now, I'd suggest you bookmark this page and come back when you can give it 20 minutes of your undivided attention. Still here? Good ... let's dive right in! The no commission aspect is usually the first 'difference' that new photographers notice here ... Traditionally stock libraries have deducted a commission, usually 50%, from each and every sale a photographer would make. The more productive the photographer the more they end up paying, sometimes tens of thousands of dollars a year. Well OzImages was originally set up by a group of photographers who weren't happy with that arrangement and figured there was a better way. Instead we chose a co-operative approach where we would share the costs of running our library among our members in the form of a modest annual fee. After that all sales would go to the photographers. Now some photographers do find this a bit hard to accept ... and we regularly get questions like "But Why Should I Pay To Sell My Work?" Well the fact of the matter is, no matter what 'structure' the library uses, if you sell your work through an agency you will be paying someone something for that service. Our photographers simply choose to pay a small amount up front, rather than give up thousands in commissions later. Obviously this won't suit everyone, but the math is simple ... if you are expecting to make more than a couple of sales a year, you're going to be ahead with our structure. If you aren't expecting that many sales, then you probably aren't ready to for stock anyway! One example will make all this abuntantly clear ... Our of our early sales was for US$10,000. If we'd been operating on a standard commission basis, the photographer would have given up US$5,000 of that straight way. Instead, since he'd already paid his annual subscription (and covered it with a previous sale) this one was 100% profit. Try telling him a commission structure would have been better! We've had other photographers top $20K a year in sales and I can assure you they too are very happy to pay our annual fee instead of the standard 50% other libraries would charge!   DISCLAIMER: I should stress that any figures quoted here are intended as examples only, and are not intended to indicate what you personally might expect. There are a lot of variables involved in stock photography ... quality, content and volume in particular ... and individual results will vary!   Another concern for some photographers is whether our subscription structure reduces our incentive to sell your images. Obviously we get paid whether you make sales or not, so why should we care if you make sales? The truth is we actually have more incentive to make you sales than your average commission-based stock library! Sure, the traditional library does have to make sales to make money. At first glance that seems like a pretty good incentive, but the fact is, they don't really care who's images are sold as long as there are sales. Theoretically, all their sales could be images belonging to one photographer and it would make little difference to their bottom line. In fact, in a lot of libraries the old 80-20 rule applies and you'll often find 80% of the sales go to 20% of the photographers. If you're not one of the 20% then it's just too bad. With OzImages, our ideal situation would be if all our photographers did equally well, so they'd all renew each year and we wouldn't have to worry about chasing round looking for new photographers! So while the commission structure might offer an incentive for a library to make as many sales as possible, our structure gives us a very real incentive to look after each individual photographer as best we can so they will stay with us long term. So ask yourself, who really has the most incentive to look after their photographers? OzImages who wants every single one of their photographers, or a Corbis or Getty who really doesn't seem to care any more? The bottom line is that we do look after our photographers very well. Our renewal rate is consistently up over 80% each month and the majority of our members have been with us several years or more. In fact, a lot of our founding members are still with us tens years later! Now obviously 80% renewing still leaves 20% who don't renew and we don't just write that off as 'inevitable'. There are generally valid reasons but that doesn't mean we can't do our best to improve on it. We address this in two main ways ... First of all we have a fairly stringent application & selection process. We'll go through it in detail later on, but basically we are going to ask you to complete a short online application and from that we will try to assess whether or not you are in a position to really make this work. Secondly, the package itself is worth more than the subscription price. Before you even make a sale you have immediate access to a complete and comprehensive package of photography-business tools. You apply these to your business as you see fit, but used properly any one of these can return your subscription many times over. We'll run through this in detail shortly, but the bottom line is that this package of tools is exceptional value for money in it's own right. You get a complete, professional web presence and all the necessary tools to use that to connect to new and existing buyers. For a lot of our members, when the sales start coming in they are simply the icing on the cake! So what does all this mean to you? You plug your work into a complete ready-to-go web marketing system. You get serious exposure to an established Client list of thousands. You get the tools and services to promote your work within our library. You get step-by-step strategies to market your work to external buyers as well. You get a cutting edge web presence without the design & development costs or the ongoing technical headaches We promote the library for you in ways no individual photographer could ever hope to match. Web Marketing & Search-Engine-Optimization is an art form on it's own. A lot of photographers think they can just build a website and then magically photo-buyers will queue up to order their photos ... most are sadly disappointed. Most buyers have little interest in visiting personal websites and even if you do manage to build one they might like to use, generating real photo-buyer traffic is no easy task ... You can try to get high search engine listings on your own, but you can forget about photography for a while ... it's a full-time job! You can pay a professional service provider to do the job for you, but it is an expensive, time consuming process and results are often fleeting. ... Or you can plug your work into OzImages and let us do it all for you as part of the deal! Try a search for Stock Photography or Freelance Photographer on Google right now and you'll usually find a couple of listings for OzImages on the first page, usually at least one entry in the top 3! You can't put a price on that sort of listing. That sort of exposure is literally 'priceless' for every one of our Member photographers   Doesn't it make more sense to plug your work into an established web marketing platform with a proven track record and an existing Client list? Here's what makes up the package. Have a read through the list below and ask yourself if there's anything there that you could put to use immediately to promote your work and generate new business? Online Photographer's Portfolio ... Share your very best work with multiple Clients at once, without ever having to let your precious originals out of your sight. You get professional Portfolio page which you can customize and update as you like, and share with Photo Buyers as easily as sending an email invitation. Searchable Image Catalogue ... As a Member you are allocated space for up to 10,000 of your images. These are fully indexed by our state-of-the-art search engine, giving Photo Buyers everywhere quick and easy access to your images. Our search engine is set up to recognize when a visitor is looking at one of your personal pages, and in those situations will offer a individual search, that only looks through your images. Automatic Stock Photo Pricing ... When a Photo Buyer wants to use your image they can get a price real-time using our Stock Photography Price Calculator. This returns an appropriate price based on the Clients' intended usage and your preferences. If the price is right, they submit a License Request and you deliver the image and collect payment. Quote Request Option ... If you prefer more control over your sales, you can have interested Photo Buyers by-pass the Price Calculator and their details will be sent directly to you. You prepare a suitable quote for them and deal directly with the Client to close the deal. Multi-Function Shopping Cart ... As our Clients are often licensing images from multiple Photographers our Shopping Cart is set up to let them request both License Requests and Quote Requests, from several different photographers all at the same time. Easy for the Client means more leads and sales for you. General Photo Requests ... Sometimes a buyer is in a hurry, or needs a lot of images, or knows a request is going to be hard to fill ..... or simply can't be bothered searching themselves. In these cases they are encouraged to submit a Photo Request. These are broadcast to all members. Those photographers with suitable images respond; either by sending low res previews directly to the buyer, or by loading suitable images to a Photo Request Lightbox. The Client then makes their selection and contacts the respective photographers to arrange usage, payment and delivery. Freelance Photographer Search .... Sometimes a Client needs a photographer in a certain area, or with a specific specialty. They can search our photographer database by name, location, region, specialty or subject. From there they can view your Photographer Profile page, your Online Portfolio, your Complete Collection and your Personal Website. When they want to contact you, they will contact you direct using a convenient web form, (we don't publish your email address!) or one of your phone contacts. That is the backbone of our operation and many of our busier photographers are quite happy to just keep submitting their images as time permits and let things grow. Over time they build up a good volume of suitable images and they can leave it to run 'hands-free' and just deal with the sales leads as they come through. Then there are others who have a bit more time and decide to go more pro-active. They'll work the system to make things happen from the start, while they are building up the numbers. They invest time and effort in the many 'extras' and really reap the rewards. Themed Lightboxes ... Group your work into themed sets as you load, add short descriptive introductions and publish them. We then announce them through our RSS newsfeeds, from where they are usually picked up by the major search engines in a matter of days. When that happens, people searching the internet for images that are in your lightbox, will land on the OzImages site, directly on your page. Delivering highly targeted prospective buyers right to your doorstep! Shared Lightboxes ... Using the same Lightbox arrangement, you can set up specific lightboxes for specific Clients. Research a photo buyer, put together a Lightbox of images that you know they can use ... and then use the Share Lightbox function to invite them to check it out. Some of our Photographers are sending out a 5 or more Lightbox Invites every week to carefully selected/researched Clients with fantastic results! It is a great way to keep in touch with your existing Clients and to prospect for new buyers. Client News Items ... These contain your story ideas, news of your travels, what you've been shooting, what you're planning to cover in coming months and so on. This is like sending a query letter to 12,000+ of receptive editors every month. Some libraries charge $50 or more for their newsletter entries, with OzImages it's all part of the service! Front Page Galleries ... These allow you to add a brief commentary to selected sets of your photos. This makes a great platform for those special sets of images you know someone is going to be interested in. Got a photo essay you haven't been able to place? A great idea for a coffee table book you want some feedback on? A special interest you'd like to share? Submit them as a Gallery Exhibit and we'll show it on our home page where you are guaranteed a substantial audience. Personal Website ... This is a mini-website we publish for you that ties together each of your personal pages with a fully customized home page, and a specially designed, search engine friendly 'landing page'. Your Personal Website page provides easy access to your Online Portfolio, Personal Search Engine, Photographer Profile, Gallery Exhibits, Themed Lightboxes, Client News items and more. This is ideal if you want to send your personal Clients to view your work. They can search your images first and if they can't find what they want, they have the full OzImages database at their fingertips. So even if you can't fill the sales, they still go away happy. A Client who goes away happy is a Client who will come back! So even if you miss the initial sale ... which you would have missed any way ... you will still get another shot at them next time! Niche Content Pages ... These are similar to lightboxes but are designed to secure high ranking search engine listings for specific search phrases relevant to your particular fields. You assemble a series of images and some text based on a search phrase that's particularly relevant to your work. We then convert that to a search-engine-optimized web page and get it listed. Within two weeks of launching these were began seeing top 3 results for many of the pages the major search engines! Tearsheet Gallery ... Post examples of your previously published work. This gets a lot of Client interest, especially when they are in 'browse' mode, and it's no coincidence that many of these images end up being multiple sellers. Member's Choice Selection ... Every member has the option to rate any images in the library. This works two ways ... it allows Members to flag any sub-standard images for Admin review, which is an important part of our quality control strategy. It also lets Members nominate particularly good images. We then use this selection for the random image you may have noticed on the front page. We also offer the Clients access to the complete list of Top Rated Images .. the Members Choice Selection. This is an impressive showcase and it's no surprise that it's extremely popular. We also have a large selection of tools and features available behind the scenes to help our photographers get the best possible value from their membership. Members Discussion Forum ... This is an email based discussion group for our Member Photographers. The talent and experience gathered here is incredible and the community spirit and willingness to assist is remarkable. This is great if you are looking for advice on equipment or processes, legal issues, pricing & contracts, copyright issues, scanning, digital work and more. Whether you've been in the game for years or you're just starting out, this is sure to be a great asset. In fact, many people have actually told us that our Photographers Discussion group alone is more than worth the annual subscription fee! The group has been archived and can now be searched to find past advice and information on many, many photography-related topics. This is a resource that will continue to grow and improve even further as time goes on. Search Engine History ... See live stats on what keyword phrases Photo Buyers are searching with. Find out what buyers are looking for at different times of the year and have photos online ready for them next year! Extensive Personal Stats & Ratings ... Detailed personal data on Thumbnail Views, Full Sized Image views, Click Through Rates and more. Recent Quotes / Licenses ... A complete listing of all recent sales activity ... Quote Requests, License Requests and even unposted Price Calculations. This lets you see both the subjects buyers are looking for and the ways they wish to use the images. Most Viewed Pages & Pics ... Check which Photos, Portfolios and Personal Websites are getting the most views. Also available are full stats on the visitor traffic through the site each month. Comprehensive Archives ... We've got an easily accessed archive of most of our past activities. This includes past Photo Requests, Quote Requests, Member & Client Newsletters and more. There's a large selection of business forms and an invaluable links directory we've assembled over the years we've been doing this. Knowledgebase & Site Documentation ... We have an extensive fully searchable knowledgebase covering all features and services of OzImages with background information, instructions and articles. This is backed by a multi-user helpdesk to ensure you always get the help you need, from the right person, as soon as possible. File Delivery Module ... Get large high res files to buyers ASAP without the hassles of trying to email huge files or waiting to post discs. You upload the file to our server, the Client is notified and they download it when they are ready. Complete Stock Listings ... this is an automatic 'text' listing of your images and their captioning/keywording, specifically structured for the search engines that index image collections. For security reasons it only allows remote access the smaller thumbnails and visitors are directed to view larger previews in the secure OzImages framework. NEW - What's Hot! ... this is a monthly list of specific images that are generating the most interest, right across the library. It take into account all Client activities and actions, and assigns a special ranking. The result is a list that gives some particularly useful insights into what buyers are looking for at any given time. Check it regularly because you will be surprised! So can you see any of those features giving your business a boost? OzImages has evolved as an innovator and a leader but to be totally honest, we never really had a choice! As each new photographer joined us, and each new photo buyer registered, we'd get more feedback and more new ideas. Now I don't know about you, but if someone tells me there might be a better way to do something, I can't help myself ... I'm going to check it out. So our package of services just keeps on growing and the way we do things just keeps on getting better and you reap the rewards. When you get involved here you aren't just purchasing marketing services for your business. You are joining a group of like minded professionals in a co-operative effort to grow both your own business and the organization itself. Does this sound like something you might like to get involved with? I'm certainly hoping it does but as I said at the start, we're looking to go into business with you, so I'd be concerned if you weren't a little skeptical and I'd be surprised if you didn't want some third-party references! So for starters, here's some feedback from our photographers ... I just want to let you know yet again that I consider OzImages the best run internet-based photo-library I know. I have looked at a lot of them and I belong to another but as far how the site runs, search-engines, speed etc OzImages beats it hands down! David Hancock -- Australia I've been a member here a month now and had four requests. Each one has responded well to a professional, friendly and definitive approach to managing the sale process. Dave Underwood -- Australia I have been meaning to thank you for the excellent stock agency and website you have created and constantly improved. I am going on two years as a member (after observing for one year) and have been constantly pleased with the layout, functionality, and professionalism of OzImages. Roger Soule -- UK Thanks!!!! I have been with OzImages a month now and I am very impressed with everything about the site as well as the support I have received .... Dave Pattinson -- Canada I made my first sale about 3 weeks after I joined, which was a bit of a surprise since I have still only loaded 39 images. The shot that prompted the initial enquiry was an over from a shoot I did for a magazine in the UK about five years ago. The client didn't end up using that shot, but commissioned me to shoot a new one plus two others........Thanks! Steven Pam -- Australia I just want take the opportunity to give my compliments to you for the great site, well structured, fast and also the support and information are great. So thanks! Pauline Mollema -- Italy Thanks for the suggestion on the Galleries Matt. I set up three last month and already they've had more hits than my own website gets in a year! Dale Worthington -- USA I believe that OzImages is up there on top with the best of what stock photography has to offer! Everyone that places photos on the site is very unique and careful to photograph their art with utmost care! You want to find a great photograph? Start with OzImages! LaDonna Brezik -- USA OzImages has to be one of the best deals on the web for stock photographers! I recommend OzImages without hesitation, and see the potential for a long, bright future for this vibrant and growing agency. Look out Corbis and Getty!! Colin Radford -- Australia ... All up, OzImages is turning out to be a fantastic resource for effective promotion and sales coordination, without being bled dry by thirsty stock agencies. It's one of the best investments I've ever made and I really appreciate your work Matt - thanks. Stuart Hutchison -- USA Want more? You can do a photographer search to find someone who does similar work as you or lives in a similar location and has got a well established presence here. Ask how it's working for them and what they think of OzImages. I'm quite confident that most will tell you exactly the same thing. OzImages works well and they're proud to be a part of it! Of course none of this works without Photo Buyers. We realized right from the start that the best thing we could ever do for our photographers was to give them great value and superb service ... and then look after our photo-buyers even better! We bend over backwards to give our Clients all the convenience of the big agencies served up with good old-fashion personal service! They deal directly with the photographers, so they get that one-on-one personal touch that so many people crave these days. Especially creative people! Happy Clients come back more often and buy more photos ... and our Photographers make more sales. Have a look at some of the Photo Buyer feedback ... Thanks. We have purchased an image. The service has been wonderful. The response was overwhelming.... In gratitude. -- Noel, Organization withheld What a wonderful network, thanks for putting me in touch....Will be very useful for my next book too where there will be more images required thanks. -- Lynn, Organization withheld I am so glad to know you are out there looking out for the best interest of photographers and the buyers. -- Kristine, Suissa Miller The response has been really good. I think I have had submissions of just about every pic I was seeking. -- Eliza, Barrie Publishing Once again thank you, I have had a huge response which is great. -- Caroline, Dandenong Printing Super digging! Thank you! -- Alexander, Nors Graphica Your professionalism and business manner makes me wish others with online services could do the same. Keep up the good work -- Jeff, Organization withheld Just a quick to thank you .... The reply was excellent, and I'm happy to say that I was able to give several photographers some business. -- Mark, Sea to Sky, Canada What a lot of big stock houses seem to have forgotten is that most photo buyers are in their jobs because they have a real interest in photography. Many of those we deal with actually started out as photographers and most of them really value their interactions with our photographers. So a lot of the automated whizz-bang sales processes the big sites use just distance the creatives from the photographers and alienate them from the very reason they got into the job in the first place!. I believe that is why our Client list just keeps on growing. These photo buyers must know there are other places where they could buy photos cheaper & faster. Look in any trade magazine and you'll see dozens of full page ads from the microsites, all fighting amongst themselves to see who can give their photos away the cheapest! And yet we get dozens of new buyers coming to try us out every week ... and they keep coming back. So I'll say it again and again ... this industry is built on talent and skill, and there will always be buyers willing to pay fair prices for quality photography. So even if you choose not to get involved with OzImages today, please take this one thing away with you ... You don't need to give your work away for peanuts to survive! Yes, there are plenty of low budget buyers who will offer you a pittance for your images, but the final decision is always yours. I don't believe any talented photographer needs to take that route just to survive. At OzImages we've developed a system that recognizes the needs and preferences of the types of buyers we want to deal with. We look after them as no one else seems to be prepared to, and they in turn looking after our Photographers. It's really nothing more than common-sense marketing, but it has evolved into a classic win-win situation for everyone. So are you starting to get a feel for what we're about here? I know told you we were different, but on it's own that doesn't mean a lot. The important question you need to be asking yourself is whether those differences might be useful to you and your business? If you are think yes, or even if you're thinking maybe, I want to remove all the risk for you so you can find out for sure. If you've read this far I'm thinking you have to be a little bit interested, so I'm going to encourage you to take the next step now to find out, before you have to make any lasting decision. Your time is precious though, so I do want to make sure you are clear on what's involved before you go any further. This is a commercial service for experienced photographers. We require a high level of technical skill and you should have extensive photographic experience. You must take great photos, you must understand what makes a great photo, and you must have the ability to edit out those that don't make the grade. Commercial experience isn't a prerequisite, but if you're new to the business side of things you must be prepared to invest some time and effort to get up to speed. Stock experience isn't a pre-requisite, but again, you need to be prepared to invest some time and effort into the learning process. We provide a great learning environment for all of this and we offer a lot of resources to assist those who are new to any of this, but the onus is on you to do what it takes to master the necessary skills. How's that for a sales pitch! No doubt it scares a few people off, but that's OK. We are looking for people who will join with us to develop a long term business partnership and we really have no desire to waste our time or energy on anyone who won't help themselves. But again, you're still here reading so I've got to think you might be someone who will work with us and will make this work. So how about you take a little more time to find out for sure? From here it's a simple four-step process: You register below as a Pending Member. This only takes a minute and there is no cost and no obligation whatsoever. You prepare a short application submission; just twelve sample photos and a bit of background information. We review that to assess whether or not you will add value to our library and have a reasonable expectation of making this work. Once we approve your application you can come inside and try us out totally risk free for 30 days, to find out for yourself if this is right for you. Does that sound fair enough? Click Here to Register   If you are wondering about the subscription, that is currently AU$360 a year >> just $1 a day << for a complete plug-and-play online photography business. As mentioned, the package offers extraordinary value, even before you make that first sale ... Feature Value A basic no-frills portfolio website $30/month 1Gb (10,000 images) stock catalogue with search engine $45/month Photo Request service. Most are over US$500 a year $40/month Search Engine Optimization service $25/month Client News broadcast to 12K+ buyers $50/month Already we are over $190 per month -- that's over $2000 a year if you were to put this package together on your own. And that's before you consider the intangibles. How do you put a price on a 15,000 strong client list? How do you value 1 million thumbnail views per month? How much would you pay for a page one listing on Google? The good news for you is that our co-operative approach lets us share the costs between a lot of photographers and keep it affordable. We believe its extremely important right now that independent photographers have real options for marketing their work outside the 'mega libraries' and discount superstores ... so keeping this accessible is a key issue for us. But affordable doesn't mean cheap. While we're not a big budget operation, we are living proof that good ideas, great people and real commitment can compete with the big players. We run with a small but efficient staff, we don't require expensive office space, we have few overheads, and whenever possible we contract work out to experts. As a result we operate on a flat-rate annual subscription that should be within the reach of virtually any working photographer. We also offer a couple of easy installment plans and a monthly payment option to make it even more accessible. If you're serious about fast-tracking your online photo business and exposing yourself to a world of new markets on the Internet I think you'll agree this is exceptional value. The more experienced photographers will be quick to realise that just one or two average sales will more than cover the cost. In fact, we normally find, the more experienced the photographer, the more impatient they are to get started! Even those photographers who are new to the business side of things usually recognize that the support and training network here is going to be priceless. On the other hand, if the price makes you flinch, that's good. It really is, because I don't want anyone getting involved who isn't ready. Which probably means you should take a pass for now. Regardless of where you find yourself on that scale though, I think you're about to find it's even better because as I said earlier, I want to remove the risk for you entirely.

You'll find full contributor guidelines in the Pending Member's Area that should answer any remaining questions. If they don't you can always contact me here and I will answer all your questions personally. The main thing is to act now. Experience tells me if you leave now without doing something we probably won't hear from you again. This whole opportunity will end up as one of those what if's you ponder on for years to come. You really don't want to find yourself a year from now, scratching your head and wondering whether that OzImages thing might have worked? Why wonder when you can know for sure! I'll look forward to hearing from you and working with you, Kind Regards,   PS. Please note: We made a decision some time back to cap our membership at 500 to preserve photographer earnings and keep this at a manageable size. We value our interactions with our photographers and we don't ever want to get too big and impersonal. I don't want to rush you into this, but I do want you to be aware that once we reach 500 members we will be instituting a waiting list and new members will only be accepted if an existing member resigns. If you're thinking of coming back later, be aware that things might have changed. If you are seriously interested, register now and secure your place!
