Digital BW, The Print

I also submitted one and had it accepted, but will think very 
carefully about submitting for additional exhibits. The first 
submission will course be more expensive because of the initial 
membership fee, and there may or may not be other shows consistent 
with your work. Of greater concern to me is the cost of shipping a 
framed image, or their charges for framing, which weren't 
unreasonable, but more than it costs me to do it myself, and I would 
still need to ship the unframed image.  At their recommended minimum 
price I would just about break even if I sold an image after shipping 
and other costs.  Include shipping costs both ways to help determine 
if it is worth it to you. Of course it may be worth it just for the 
exposure, regardless of whether there is a profit on any individual 
image.

They did solicit names of local art reporters and sent them an email 
press release on the opening.

I took my chances the first time because the juror was Tony Sweet, a 
local photographer with a national reputation, about whom I heard 
good things.  If you know, or know of the jurors, that might also 
help you decide to participate.
