    I think Marco nailed it. A friend, back in art school, stopped
    putting her work in the student shows because she always won prizes
    -- which made sense because she was a working artist, not just a
    student. She said she didn't want to deprive someone else of a spot.
    Made sense. It's just so much better to avoid any possibility of the
    appearance of impropriety.

            Have you ever wished you could tell your childhood self a
            thing or two about growing up?

            Would the knowledge you know now have saved you from
            learning things the hard way?

                In my opinion, you should not submit work to
                  either.Â That way, your intentions canât be
                  questioned, and the museum or gallery isnât
                  compromised.Â Even if you entered a show with the
                  provision that you wouldn't accept a prize, youâd be
                  displacing another entrant.Â So forbear from entering
                  any work in any competition or juried exhibition.

                      Hello Everyone, and Merry Christmas and Happy
                        Holidays,
                      Â
                      I have a question I thought someone may be
                        able to answer for me.Â Iâve just been appointed
                        to the commission for our Lancaster Museum and
                        Art Gallery.Â What is the protocol for someone
                        in my position to enter work into shows at the
                        art gallery now?Â Should I not enter work in a
                        juried art show?Â Should I enter, but refuse any
                        prizes I may be awarded?
                      Â
                      This is all new to me and Iâm hoping I can
                        get some suggestions and answers from some of
                        you who are more experienced and knowledgeable.
                      Â
                      Thank you in advance.
