    Actually, it is only every other year that the Exhition in Print
    (EiP) is curated; in the alternate years it is juried.  The
    methodology Sheridan describes above is used for the curated EiPs
    and the chosen curator's proposal must be based on a particular
    theme (such as enamel work in the 2003 issue and, as it was recently
    announced, flatware for the 2005 EiP).  This year's EiP, however,
    was juried from all submissions of all kinds (which will again be
    the case in 2006).  The jurors (who are selected by Metalsmith, but
    not on the basis of proposals) choose what they believe to the the
    best/most interesting pieces from all the various entries. 

    I often wonder if more traditional metalsmiths no longer bother to
    submit considering Metalsmith's bias for the academic and avant
    garde.  I know that I don't.
