I also read in the bookstore.  Here are some words of wisdom gleaned from an
artist's magazine.  It's about entering art works in competitions.
1. enter your best print
2. chose a picture with effective design and contrast
3. avoid complicated or subtle images
4. submit only a technically top-notch work
5. avoid trite subjects
6. do submit a unique subject matter or do an ordinary subject in
    a. extraordinary way
    b. a subject that stirs emotion
7. offer something special in vision, attitude or color
8. send a good slide: use silver tape to block out the non-picture area, if
you have to.

Subject: [Baren 6434] Daniel Smith Catalog 

(This is from Ray Hudson in Vermont)
If you haven't received a copy of the Daniel Smith "Holiday Catalog of
Artists' Materials 1999" you might want to request a copy.   The cover is
filled with a wonderful woodcut by Annemie Curlin called "Slow
Change"--winter trees, the moon, stars.  1-800-426-6740 or
