    Hi Alan, It's not a silly question at all but there isn't one
    answer.  It all depends on the particular circumstance.  If a show is
    juried by the promoter -- what I call self-juried -- then chances are
    the images are viewed on a light box. 

    If it's what I call a panel jury -- where professionals from outside
    the organization do the viewing -- then chances are the slides are
    projected simultaneously on a large screen.  This is how
    organizations like ACC do it for instance.  There is a trend in
    today's technological age, however, for panel juries to view images
    on a computer.  I believe it's the Smithsonian Craft Show that began
    this year to require electronic image submission. 

    As for galleries, I expect most view slides on a light box, though
    it wouldn't surprise me if some used a handheld viewer (or even their
    hands to hold the slides up to a light!).  Unless slides are
    requested (some galleries publish submission guidelines), I always
    send prints to galleries myself.  It makes viewing a lot easier. 

    My guess is that in a few years, we'll all be submitting images
    electronically but until that time comes, you need to be prepared
    for all contingencies and variables.  So view your slides every way
    you can.  A slide that looks good projected on a screen will most
    likely look fine on a light box but it's not always true the other
    way around.
