I entered the ArtSpace monthly juried show for February, judged by Matt Lively. Two of my three submissions were accepted and one got second place! I learned a lot from this process. One, it is very expensive to enter these shows when you don't really know what you're doing. I had to frame my photos, and without doing much resource ended up spending about as much with this as I could have made selling them. Noted...need to find more cost efficient approach to framing. Either way, I was happy to have even been accepted into the show and elated to have placed. The award check may as well have been a million dollars just because the whole experience was so exciting and rewarding.
Congrats! I once entered that show and nothing ever happend for me! ;) Good job! I agree that when the entry fee is $30 buck or more that you may spend as much or more than the entry fee just framing your work...and that's not to mention if you have to ship it. Did you cut your own mat? That's a good way to save cash. Might seem pricey in the biggining but then compare the cost of having someone cut a hole vs. how many matts you can cut for that price. Again good work!
