I've entered the John James Audubon Art Show for a few years. Out of the 364 artworks submitted this year, only 230 were selected. Two of my photographs were chosen: Gay Head cliffs in Martha's Vineyard and a creepy, decaying house. I won Third Place for the decaying house. It was the 11th Annual Juried Art Show. Juror of Selection was Doug Wechsler, a photographer who specializes in natural history subjects and ran the world's most comprehensive selection of bird photographs at the Academy of Natural Sciences. The Juror of Awards was Ross Lance Mitchell, the Director of Barnes-de Mazia Education and Outreach Programs for the Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia. He is also the former President of the Philadelphia Sketch Club and former Vice President of the Lower Merion Historical Society. The Art Show was sponsored by Lower Providence Township, Montgomery County, and the Valley Forge Audubon Society. Peddler's Village hosts an Annual Gingerbread Competition. This was the first time my father and I entered. There were five category choices, we had to include "Holiday Spirit", and everything visible had to be edible. We chose Authentic Reproduction of a Significant Building. We recreated Snoopy's doghouse from Charlie Brown Christmas. Our display was on a 2 feet by 2 feet board and the house itself was 8 inches wide by 10 inches long by 15 inches high. It also included Snoopy, Woodstock, the sad Christmas tree, and presents. Look below to see our display and award. |
