At this particular festival it was requested that we bring one of our works that we’d like considered for judgement to the Main Street public library within the festival grounds.
I submitted “Seneca One Tower” just before 11a and was asked to return between noon and 1p to pick up my artwork. I arrived at just about noon or shortly after and was greeted at the door with a “Congratulations!” I was caught off guard, I believe I replied something to the affect, “For?” or “What happened?” To which they responded “You placed first in the photography category!”
I couldn’t believe it, my first festival and I place first. I was and still am honored, it’s a memory I hope lasts a lifetime.
