Prize money is not an issue. Profit is not an issue. It doesn't matter if you charge for your copies or not... it is still infringement. 1922? Copyright is for life plus 75 years, in most cases (there are tiers). Only the original creator of a work has the right to make copies or derivatives unless he explicitly yields that right. Even ownership of the physical work of art doesn't give a person the rights to make copies from it. That is why I say that it is best to use much older works as your sources. You might want to read this link about Copyright Myths and the Introduction to Copyright... and Templeton has links to other FAQs. Carolly
