I am in the early stages of planning a spearfishing competition for later this year. It's purpose will be to promote sustainability and making use of more of the meat than just the fillets (i.e. belly, collar, cheeks, etc) and all proceeds will be going toward a local non-profit. We already have sponsors and interest in the unique structure of the competition. I'll make another post about that once we have the details ironed out. In the mean time, I am interested in having a gyotaku station set up for the competitors (or guests) to partake in. I have 0 experience with gyotaku but have seen pics of some of the past NCKA events that had them.

A couple questions for those with experience in the art or in facilitating the activity at an event:

1) Are people usually interested in doing it, if it is available?
2) How much would be a good fee (included in the entrance fee or separately) per person to cover expenses for the paper, paint and supplies?
3) Depending on the date, can you recommend someone that might be willing to help people on the day of the event (aka man the booth)?
4) How much more difficult is it to do on a shirt vs the right paper?
5) Any words of advice?

Thank you in advance NCKA. I appreciate you guys and look forward to meeting more of you at Barryessa this weekend. I'll be there Fri night-Sun.
