I just got another show rejection today with the added information. “We do not have comments from jurors or scores that we can share with you.”
This is something that has bugged me since I got into this business. I can see no legitimate reason for not giving out jury scores.
In fact, I have only been able to come up with the following reasons for not releasing jury scores to the artists.
- There really isn’t a jury. We just look throw the photos until we get tired of it, and pick folks at random.
- There really isn’t a jury. We have a group of favorite artists that we let in every year, but thanks for the $35 application fee.
- There kind of is a jury, but we don’t really have any rules, so we just wing it each year, but hey, maybe you will luck out next year.
- There kind of is a jury, but we don’t like to have too many local artists, so we trashcan your application if you live within 100 miles.
- There kind of is a jury, but we really hate those out of state people, so we give locals the first shot.
- There is a real jury, but we hope you will keep sending us your $35 application fee year after year even though we think you work sucks.
- There is a real jury, but we are sort of like God, and you shouldn’t question our judgment, but just be grateful that you were considered for inclusion.
So, what do you all think about this?
