Question
A juried show charges an entry fee for three slides and then tells you it's $5.00 for any additional slide. What if some people enter 10 and I enter only 3? I don't trust the fairness or odds in such a contest. What do you think?

Answer
Well Emile........what can you do.  The contest judges set the rules.  Why?   I don't know how they come up with these schemes......but they do.

My guess is that the three limit for entry is fairly standard.  So pick your best three and give it a shot.

As the saying goes......."nothing in life is fair".....

All the best,
