Mask Auction So Far
Here you can see the all of masks that are available to be bid on, and their marvellous makers.
Every two or three days, a new maker will be matched to his or her mask, and will then appear here. From that moment, you can bid on that mask as well as on any other mask that has been matched to its maker.
Bid on one or more masks, and check back regularly to see if you have been outbid, and bid again!
If at the end of the auction period, your bid is highest, you will be given instructions how to pay that amount, split equally between the two charities. Then, you will receive your original work of mask-art.
