Sportzstars Capital Corporation commissions aspiring and established artists to create one-of-a-kind works of art of famous sports moments and milestones in the form of color paintings and black/white drawings, that Sportzstars professionally reproduces, markets, and sells, as 9" X 12" Limited First Edition prints, usually in sets of 500.
Sportzstars is pleased to align itself with RocketHub for this Project. RocketHub is NOT an investment or charity. It is an exchange: funds from fans ("Supporters") for rewards from Sportzstars !
The purpose of this Project is to raise a minimum of $5,000.00 to allow Sportzstars to expand our Print Program by commissioning additional artists to participate, providing the duel benefit of 'opportunity' for other aspiring artists in our community, and creation of new 'inventory' to sell for Sportzstars.
A successful Project will provide Sportzstars the opportunity to give a career start or boost to many new aspiring artists, by providing Sportzstars with the resources to allow new aspiring artists the opportunity to participate in our Print Program. Each participating artists receives an up-front fee, a fee from on-going sales of prints, and free publicity on our website. We project that success of the Project's goal of $5,000.00, will provide Sportzstars the resources to provide up to 6 new artists, the opportunity to participate in our Print Program.
Whether our Project is partially successful, or exceeds 100% of our goal, will simply determine how many new artists, or existing artists, Sportzstars will be able to commission to create additional, original works of art. On average, Sportzstars requires $750.00 to originate a new work of art, and complete set of Limited First Edition Prints.
Sportzstars has limited existing capital from management of the company, so a successful Project will allow Sportzstars to expand our Print Program on a more desired timetable.
Each 'fan' or 'Supporter' of our Program will receive a Sportzstars Coupon in an amount of TWICE THEIR FINANCIAL SUPPORT ! The Coupon is redeemable towards a 9" X 12" Limited First Edition Print of our artists' paintings (color) or drawings (black/white) at www.sportsZprints.com.
A Sportzstars Print makes for a great gift, or addition to a fans 'home theater' , 'sports cave', or as an office decoration.
Supporters Coupons will be redeemable through 12/31/12, providing Supporters of the opportunity to obtain a Print from our existing 'inventory' now, or one of a work of art created over the next year. (A successful Project expands our 'inventory' of Prints for a Supporter to select from !) Supporters are also provided a one-time opportunity---the ability to join our FREE VIP Club, and receive advance notice and special discounts on all new items released in the future !
