"You can only win it, if you're in it." And you are right as I have been on panels or jury before. Sometimes there are specific criteria that needs to be met and othertimes the work may just not be the right fit. Thanks for commenting and giving your insight into the process. Would love to see what art has made it home with you...how about a post for my Artist as Collector series?Nanci Hershhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09263826656579944701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5669552211067992473.post-58197496048523760502012-07-27T13:06:30.843-04:002012-07-27T13:06:30.843-04:00So true and so well said!

I often see beautiful affordable artwork, I have money in my pocket but it just isn't the right fit right now and so I don't buy it. It occurred to me that when I submit artwork the juror may be going through the same thought process about my submission. My work isn't necessarily and "less" than those accepted - it just isn't what they were looking for at that moment in time. But if I don't apply at all I have no chance of ever being accepted. I also agree that the self reviewing process necessary for submission helps gain more insight into one's work.
