RE: [artshow_photo] Multiple Entries

Sorry but all is fair in love and war or business. If three submissions
where accepted then the jurors must have picked them as superior to the
other submission. As to fair there is a lot that is not fair about the jury
process. Many shows allow one artist (with one submission) to book more
than one booth. That also takes up the space that another artist could use.

The conversation was about applying in the same category with several bodies
of work, not applying to two different categories with different media which
is customarily done. There is no "moral" problem, I stated my opinion. Maybe
there is no difference. Your friend is booking one booth and showing two
things.

But let me play devil's advocate and say that one photographer sends in 10
applications to the same show with different bodies of work (say, luminous
landscapes, travel, floral, artistic, black and white, people.) and three of
those get accepted; he books all three booths and, with his family/friends,
takes up three photography spots.

He increased his chances and succeeded but in the process another two
photographers now don't have a spot in the show. Fair? Not fair? I don't
know.
