Faile Lottery



Pioneering NY art collective 'Faile' are set to release some new works on their site via a lottery system on November 12th. Their previous success coupled with some astonishing recent auction results probably make this a good idea, but what's stopping certain members of the public from entering countless times via different e-mail addresses?

From Faile.net:
We will have new works available starting November 12th. The November release will be done via lottery system. You will be able to view the work through the Faile Store with a link to the lottery site. Upon entering and registering for the lottery site you will be able to sign up for the piece of your choice. You may only enter the lottery once for each piece. And it will be a one piece per person lottery.

The lottery will run from Nov. 12th - Nov. 16th. You will be able to enter the lottery at any time during these 5 days. The lottery will randomly generate a "winner / winners" and those people will be notified through the email entered in the lottery site on Nov. 20th. Should you be selected as a winner, we will send an invoice via PayPal to your registered PayPal email.

This is a new system we are trying in releasing work through the Faile site. We hope this will allow everyone a fair chance to receive new works and also provide ample time to view and select works of your choice.

Please take your time and only enter the lottery if you are a serious buyer.

Thank you everyone for your support and patience with the new system. We really hope all runs smooth.
