Annabel Wyatt – her work stands out!

any good. oh well i’ll keep on

Hi Dean
The shortlist for this competition is less than 10% of the entries we received, so most entrants will not have got through. It is the nature of competitions that the vast majority of entrants will be disappointed. We are pleased that we had so many high quality entries, but this does make selection more difficult as we can’t choose everyone.
I hope this hasn’t discouraged you. Do continue making art, both for yourself and if you like, for future competitions. Just remember that a judge not liking your work best doesn’t mean they didn’t like it at all and doesn’t mean others wouldn’t like it.
