Moebius may be on to something. I'm a collector of concept art and fine art books also. There's an annual book called "Spectrum" which features a collection of submited fantasy art (both in print and not in print). These pieces are chosen by a panel and the book sells for around 30-40 US dollars. Working for a bookstore, I have access to these things and believe me when I say there are hundreds of art books and anthology art books out there. It's marketable, prestigous, and possibly even profitable. Soemthing to consider for sure. I say an annual collection of artwork in book form may also be a good way to go. Sadly, we stopped the submissions a month before I (and a few friends) were planning to submit stuff we'd been collaborating on, so I'd really like to see the prints back. However, a book would be a cool alternative also. Lastly, we may also want to consider making the prints available to Comicbook shops and Videogame stores. These are the major places to hit if you want higher sales.
