My four entries into the Society of Scottish Artists were rejected this year- despite having been accepted in previous years. And I'm a "Professional" member of the Society.

 This underscores the arbitrariness of these selection processes, since the pieces sent in were no worse in quality than in previous years- at least not all of them, and there were no new entry specifications implying a change in criteria.
