Dear Artist,
 
On behalf of Artshow.com, I want to thank you for responding to our call to artists and submitting images of your work for consideration for the 2011 Art Kudos International Competition.  Your participation is very much appreciated as it helps to ensure a diverse body of work from which selections can be made.
 
I am pleased to inform you that one or more of your works was ACCEPTED for inclusion in the 2011 online exhibition. Narrowing selections from the incredible variety and quality of entries proved to be a daunting task. Originality and artistic quality were the main, but not the sole criteria, used to select the final works for the exhibition.  Other factors, such as the clarity of the images provided and their ability to be viewed online, also contributed to our decision.  Moreover, we tried to include a variety of media, subjects, and artistic styles.  This year, out of 417 artists, a total of 157 were chosen for the exhibition.
