cmsa; i'd say i get in about a third of the competitive exhibitions i apply for. I always wonder (being a good painter); why? Especiallly when i get a rejection email like this;

"Although your work entered in the Wausau Museum of Contemporary Art's International Biennial Portrait Competition 2019 was beautiful, we are sorry to inform you that it has not been accepted in this year's exhibition.
We wish you success and all the best in your future endeavors!"
So maybe this is the rejection letter all get, cuz if they meant "beautiful" why was it declined?...
EYEROLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
