    I mentioned this very fact to an artist who regularly gets into ACC
    and higher level shows in a non-jewelry category... 

    1. Her response: these shows are also aware of which artists have
    followings and will bring in more paying customers by being included
    in their show. 

    2. While some shows have new juries every year, it's clear that the
    jury must not be picking all of the artists since some continue to
    get in with work that hasn't changed in years and/or is somewhat
    dated. Her conclusion: some show organizers have their favorites and
    they will get in no matter what.
