Thanks

Thanks Joan and Michelle -

After some thought, I have come to this same conclusion, so if they want my painting, I will consider it a sale (for just the reasons you mentioned, Joan). I agree that a true contest would not ask for the paintings to keep.

And since the state of Georgia does not require a church to pay tax on an item meant for worship, it would be a nontaxable sale -
(I love the internet - who would have thought years ago about being able to look up laws and regulations from your own home!).
