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.

This is really helpful. Thanks all!

I'm hoping to get lots of input, so feel free to pipe in. :D

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. JejejeĆ¢„Ā¢

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!

I vote for 2, 34 and 36

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!

That would be this show, I believe. Call me "Detective Bear" :-)

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.
