I don't think that's necessary, because it's OK for the AGA to publish
them in other magazines as part of promoting the event.  We specifically
had that clause in, to allow us to publish this exact sort of thing.  We
had talked about promos in AFM for next year, for instance.

Interesting.  Different wrinkle.  He never actually gave a deadline for
the actual publication, just a deadline for "decision".  If this is the
case, we can DEFINITELY use this to our mutual advantage to come up with
pictures that look great but aren't the winners (or might be alternate
shots of some of the winners).
