One of the favorite themes of entertainment is trying to predict the type of juror particular figure will be accepted on the basis of the pattern of painting that is a member of the jury. Sometimes picking the entries in this method works and you get it, but I did jury selection eclectic mix of styles and themes, but some of them as their own.
My advice is to enter only their best work – art that shows the ability to use half of his painting, and the formation of well-designed, and the image that shows creativity. These are the three most important criteria for the jury.
Upon entering a work of art the best to you and show their strength. After that, it is for the jury and the point of view of him or her. And you just have to accept fluctuations in the arbitration process. Most extreme example of what can happen, I had the same juror in several exhibitions. He entered the painting itself in art competitions, the jury rejected both the offer and took the first prize and after. The nationally known artist me a story similar to your plate. The rejection of a show and won the best national in another country. I’m sure you did not have my jury.
