annual exhibition,royal hibernian academy in dublin

[tk shots]

<p>this is an xhbn that attracts a few thousand entries at 15 quid a pop...i entered a shot that was damaged in transit(the glass was broken),so they left it unwrapped...then they judged it unwrapped,looking at it through bubblewrap and tape...luckily,somebody up there inadvertantly told me...then the selection committee tried to lie...i know,because the photograph came back with the broken glass still inside the wrapping...so stay away from this one...the selection process is also supposedly done on the basis that the artist is unknown,but this is not true for those who are known to the judges personally...the art community in dublin is small,everybody knows everybody,hence the same names crop up every year...</p>
