"That is a really good point, Barry! It means that the judges can concentrate on what they know best without racing from booth to booth and also gives reason to that perennial complaint - "the judge didn't even come into my booth.""

Awards list for the March 10-11, 2012 Bonita Springs National Art Festival
F.Y.I.I have read many times, "the judge just passed by without looking". In our cases, we have one judge for 2-D work and one for 3-D. They then concur to select which artists will be given awards. This may explain why one “passed you by”.Our awards history is available at:http://www.artinusa.com/bonita/pages_public_info/awardhistory.html Here are the awards of the March 10-11, 2012 Bonita Springs National Art…See More

"It is information like this that reconfirms my preference for doing shows that are run by and benefit small local arts organizations. Thanks for the wonderful show last week, by the way. Too bad about the cold temps on Sunday!"

"Both judges and juror change with every event.
If you look at other Festivals, you will probably see those name also."
geri a. wegner commented on Barry Witt's blog post Awards - Bonita Springs National Art Festival - Febraury 11-12, 2012
"How often does the jury pool change for this show? Some artists seemed to be favorites for a series of years and then nothing. This happened several times throughout the list. Interesting."
