Thank you, everyone who is offering their registration
ideas! They are most welcome and helpful. I'll be
busy in the coming weeks trying out your suggestions
as I warm up for print Exchange #34. cheers!
P.S. Those 'husband thingies' sound intriguing... do
they have other uses as well? :-)

I have been on the selection panel of a National touring print exhibition; It was a fascinating experience and led me to some conclusions:

As far as possible, submit the full number of prints that you are entitled to.

Even in prints are related in a series, you are more likely to have more than one selected if each work is distinctive, rather than submitting a group of nearly identical images.

Your work may only be scrutinised for seconds - consider this when making your choice so that somethng is there to hold attention and make the jury look closer... or longer.

Follow instructions to the letter - these sometimes seem fussy, but it makes things run smoothly on the day.

The process is interesting. I was lucky to know and respect the other printmakers involved. We used a simple majority decision for our first selection but, if someone had very strong views either way, we often went with their instinct. After that we looked at the work we had and decided whether we needed to "weed out" more or go back to rejected work to select more. Some prints were neither selected nor rejected but held in limbo until we knew if they were required.

We were satisfied after a long day that we had done our best; I know that we upset some people by rejecting works that were important to them.

Money? An organisation never gtrew rich on selection fees - most goes into the catalogue, I imagine. I fear that some might use high fees to deter casual submission. I would be wary of an individual who is organising something and asks for a lot of money. Ask for references as it may be a scam.

Of to Art In Action! (if my trusty old camper gets there)

Good luck with the camper, Andy. Will you be posting Art in Action on
your blog later? I've enjoyed your posts so far.
