To the best of my knowledge Spectrum has always charged. The submission fee is $20 for the first image. Then $10 for each additional image (up to 5 total).The total fees could not exceed $60. Our fees are honestly quite reasonable when compared to many of the juried shows, expositions, and other publications that are currently holding "Open Calls" at www.theartlist.com As always, I respect and understand everyone's different perspectives and individual decision whether to participate or not. I just wanted everyone to have a full, comparative picture. Thanks for understanding, Lillian
