The competition is fierce. I didn't expect to get in, so I wasn't sure why my heart rate increased as I scrolled down, scanning the list for my name. When I got to "F" I actually gasped: I got in!
I submitted to Spectrum once every few years since graduating from art school. My work was first accepted in 2002 when I entered a sculpture of the Norse god Thor I had made as a part of my senior thesis at Ringling. I hadn't been accepted in my several attempts since. I'm very pleasantly surprised to see my name on the list, and I look forward to seeing which piece or (if I'm lucky) pieces will appear in the book!
Many thanks to Cathy and Arnie Fenner and the judges for their hard work and dedication to showcasing the fantastic arts!

Congratulations, Emily! Woooo-hoooooo! I've seen the SPECTRUM collections (from previous years) on store shelves -- if that's what you're talking about, they are beautiful! I think I even own one from several years back. Be sure to keep us posted through your blog on when it becomes available! Again, congrats! That is tremendous, and so exciting!
Thanks so much, Fred! A number of friends got in this year, too. I'm excited to see the book when it's finished.
