@QuietYell Thank you again Scott - i am always in awe of how thorough your posts are - really appreciate the kind words too - after looking at the winners from last year i see that i am further out of my depth than i had imagined
really inspiring though - i'll keep at it and maybe level up before next year!@Rebecca-Hirsch Thank you Rebecca! Congratulations to you! I just read Tommy dePaola's review of your excellent piece - "This was the happiest image (for me) in all of the entries...." - that is such great feedback!

@QuietYell No Way!!!! Thank you Scott! I just checked it out - I made it into top 1/4

@Kevin-Longueil Congratulations, buddy! I am so incredibly happy for you. It is difficult to get into CA, and making it through to the shortlist is in of itself quite an amazing honor. It is a joy to have alerted you to this opportunity and see you get this exciting boost! Go Kevin!

@Rich-Green Thank you Rich!!
@natiwata Thank you Nat! I don't think it would exaggerating to say that you helped me have the confidence to enter - the conversation we had in the chat a year or so ago really helped me see my work differently - so thank you
@Dulcie Thank you Dulcie!! Really appreciate the kind words -
"We regret to inform you that your work was not selected for this year's annual ....our sincere thanks for entering this year - The Communication Arts Team" - Got this polite message today
Thanks again everyone -
@Kevin-Longueil oh so close! sorry to hear that you didn't get into the annual itself; however, very happy for you to have made it to the shortlist, which is difficult in of itself to get to.

Herzlichen Glückwunsch - Congratulations - also from my side!!! I am so happy for you!

@Kevin-Longueil ooops... I hope you don’t misunderstand my last post. The congrats are for the short list, which is awesome.

@Kevin-Longueil I am sure you are not too sad about missing the annual, right? Enjoy the short list!

@Jana Thank you Jana!! - i understood your post
(had to look up "Herzlichen Glückwunsch" though No i am not sad ... i think that making the short list was validating in a way - it was a great surprise too! -
I think you have all reasons to be proud. Your work is awesome! You are sure to win competitions if you keep entering and keep up the good work!
