It's that time again. The first art show I ever entered was in my home state of Minnesota, and even though I don't live there anymore, I still enter each year.
Competition is getting quite intense, so I could use some help deciding on what to enter.
If your willing, could you please select your top 6 from the following collection? Feel free to post numbers here, or leave comments on the smugmug site. (I can't seem to get info on the thumbs up/thumbs down option in smugmug, so I'd avoid that feature.)
Thanks heaps and loads!!

You'll end up with 20 possibles :-)
My faves are 4,9,16,22,23,36 and I would say of those the one I would say should be an absolute choice is 16. No-one else has mentioned it... |

| I agree with 16, it's so intriguing and everyone would remember it. |

| Looking from my phone - can't go wrong with any of those. Fabulous collection! Good luck. You'll run the ribbons again, I'm sure! |

nonono -- this Minnesota arts show is much, much more difficult. I'm lucky if I get one or two accepted, and I haven't ribboned in years. That's why I'm asking for help. :)

Will the show be juried or or will the public be voting? Some images will do better in a public voting contest and others will do better in a juried contest.
Any more information about the show? I'd be interested in seeing the results. I don't have anything I'd enter into a contest - yet. |

Truckload of wonderful photos, but if I had to choose:
2, 6, 18, 20, 23, 31
36 and 39 are wonderful and based on what the show typically puts out they may end up being the big hits.
Good luck! |

It would be helpful to know if there are categories. Otherwise, just enter the one of birds. Jejeje�
The following strike me as the most interesting, but every image you have shown us is quite excellent, really. You've come a long way, gal.
2, 4, 5, 14, 15 (add a sky gradient), 27, 29, 31, 32 (burn the eyetraps in the shadow lower left), 33, 39.
I'd definitely include 32 and 39, incidentally.
Good luck!

It's a juried art show that includes paintings, drawings, digital and hand-pulled prints, mixed media,
fiber, batik, photography (not digitally altered or photo of
work in another medium), digital (including digitally altered
photographs), ceramics, glass, sculpture, and sequential art.
A panel selects about 500 pieces from the entries, and then the juror narrows it down to about 210 pieces.
There are specific awards -- river award, tells a story, best photo, best painting, but other than a few special awards, there really aren't categories. Kind of a free-for-all.

Wendy, what is the show? I'm in Minnesota and am interested in going to see it, if not entering.
Thanks! |

yup! That's it. It has a steep entry fee, but it's a wonderful show.

one last bump for those of you who are stuffed of turkey and perhaps off of work & wondering what to do with your time. :)
Thanks everyone! This has been very enlightening.
