    While I am sure politics does play a role in show acceptance you
    also have to take into account the vision of the juror. It is a lot
    like building a house. You look at the material offered for
    construction and they either suite the design or they do not. If the
    design calls for red brick there is no need to order blue brick. A
    little simile there. If the pieces you submit do not fit the overall
    look that the juror has in his or her mind you will probably not be
    included. I have seen some really great pieces turned away from shows
    because they just did not fit in to the overall look of the show or
    the depth of the artists submission was not sufficient to make a
    statement. Often, I have seen single pieces be rejected for that
    reason. I always submit as close to the maximum number of pieces as I
    can. Give the juror a choice as well as a showing of depth to the
    design direction. Hold your breath and don't be discouraged or
    dissappointed if you do not make a show. Rejection is part of the
    game. Best of luck and my 2 cents about shows. Frank Goss
