    It is critical to project your slides if your intention is to apply
    to juried shows. 

    At one time I was part of the committe who produced the MVFAF.  We
    did as I think the ACC does in jurying.  All 5 slides were projected
    simultaneously for the jurors to view.  The one thing that pops out
    is whether the slides have coherence [ the coherence of the work
    aside ].  By coherence I mean that the shots have some unity and
    don't look like five random shots taken with various backrounds and
    lighting.  If the backround is the same it really makes a
    difference.  An uncluttered backround helps; don't use unusual
    props. 

    The MVFAF encouraged applicants or just those interested to view the
    process. It's very educational.   I know that it's difficult to come
    up with 5 screens and 5 projectors, but there's nothing like it.  I
    would also suggest having someone whose opinion you respect to also
    view them to get a more disinterested perspective. 

    If you treat slides with care projecting them does in no way degrade
    them. 

Hope this helps.
