I understand, and thank you for your time :) Asking a professional to work for free doesn't make much sense, I know, but GISHWHES is fundamentally a charity event (proceeds go to RandamActs) and so offering pay participants (which would be your position in this all) goes against the spirit of it all. Plus, we're in South Africa and the exchange rate is a joke - no one would be able to afford it haha!
