4 years now, i've submitted art to this Young At Art Exhibition, and 4 friggin' times, i've been denied.

I posted these 4 things, one each year:

You'd think that at least one would make it in. Some people's stuff won awards in the exhibition, but not all of the ones accepted did. most were just shown publicly. And, you know, i don't wanna be all high and mighty about my work, but those 4 things are some of the best pieces i've ever done, with my art teacher actually saying that they MUST get me into the exhibition. I really appreciated those comments, and they really got my hopes up, but they apparently "weren't good enough".

I've come to learn that i shouldn't let every downward criticism get to me, but this has been 4 TIMES now. It'd also be nice for people to be able to walk up to my art in a real show for people to see.

Maybe i'm being picky, or immature or something, but all the people i know who applied got in, and being denied that many times kinda hits you hard, you know?
