  You can't have any identification in your jury images, either the individual art images or on your booth. You need to use Photoshop to take the signatures out so it doesn't look like you've done anything to the work or booth, not put pieces of paper or block out the signatures which will draw attention for the wrong reasons. At the better shows they look at your images for under twenty seconds, and maybe under ten seconds which they did at the last two open juries I attended. You need to spend some time reading the information in the links I provided when I first answered you - before setting up to do your display picture.

  oh, as far as your name in your booth photos go, do you just  put a little black slip of paper over the signature on your paintings ? and don't put up your banner?

  thx everyone, I have defiantly learned a few things here that will help me tremendously, I will definaly post some photos and let you guys critique them for me, it is great to have a place where you cane go to and pick the brains of other artist that have many years of experience. I live in a really small town and there isn't much of an art community here, so I don't have many people to ask for advice here. thx again.

  Depending on the level of shows you apply to you may get away with a partial two walled indoor booth, but most of the top shows will ask for a three walled outdoor booth under a white canopy, with no signatures on the paintings hanging in the booth. They're looking for more of what your booth will look like at their show instead of a grouping of your work.

  There are definitely shows that require the booth photo show 3 walls, which this one doesn't, so you should be prepared for that as well.

  That may be so, but like I said, I got into 9 shows last year, and 2 so far this year.  (other applications are yet pending).  I don;t know what is right or wrong either !!!!
