I made it through too - well done to those that made it and commiserations to those that didn’t.

Congratulations to everyone whose work has been selected (and commended). Thanks to the cost of living crisis, I struggled to justify the entry fee this year, but I still entered with high hopes.  I enjoy what I do and I'm proud of my work, but I'm feeling a bit deflated this morning.  I've had 4 unsuccessful goes at entering, so I should probably accept that it isn't good enough.

I rarely visit the forum but wanted to say a big congratulations to everyone who entered whatever the outcome. Without such diversely there wouldn’t be a competition and of the few works chosen there are hundreds of beautiful pieces with so much merit . ‘Good enough’ is so subjective and I’d be so sad to think that anyone’s confidence was crushed. Art, to me is to be enjoyed primarily by the artist in its creativity. Each mark is made with emotion and purpose. We are privileged to be surrounded by such artistic skill and passion

Well said Diana. I wonder how many entries there are each year - there must be hundreds!

Hear hear to the above - I've always told myself if one person likes my work, then I've succeeded but Diana is right - if you are happy with what you have created that is definitely enough. And to just keep going for that reason alone ..
