"We had 434 submissions (317 2D and 117 3D) from 256 of our members for this year’s exhibition, and the quality was phenomenal.  It was definitely the toughest jury ever, so you should be especially proud that your work was selected.  The caliber of the entries was superb; we could easily have selected two complete shows and have had equal levels of excellence in both."
