maybe next year ...
i've had a couple of calls from the organisers of the city of sydney - sydney life comp, over the past couple days. the problem? my photo was on a shortlist BUT the file seemed to be corrupted; and after a re-burn and personally dropping off the file to the office - it still didn't cut it. bummer.
i guess it's frustrating to hear that yes, your photograph is great and everyone on the panel was interested in it - but because it can't be reproduced at the high scale they needed it, it can't be put through. grrrr.
it is encouraging though, my first try at any photography competition/exhibition - one of my favourites that the city puts on - and they took the time to call me and get me to figure out the file problem. i even had a few nice comments from the panel passed onto me, which is surprising and they're looking out for me in future competitions ... blah, i'm just so disappointed and i really need to figure out why the file wasn't good enough so this doesn't happen again.
oh well, maybe next year ...

Tracey,
I'm so sorry to hear your photo was dropped. You're so talented, I really expected to hear that you were one of the finalists. I know it's just a matter of time. You have a great eye!!!

It must be frustrating to get so close but not make the cut - however, at least you got close in the first place and that's awesome! It's only your first try of many future successes! :)

Bummer! But then, congrats that you made it so far (not surprising) in the first place!
I agree. Your shots are amazing. Your name will be in lights soon enough.
