Sometimes They Say Yes

When you submit your entry to a juried show or competition, the worst they can say is no. But they also yes. Congratulations to the following students who have been accepted to various shows and publications this month:

Brian Wittmuss is a finalist in the Photographers Forum 30th Annual Student Photography Contest. His image "Agglomerative Narrative" will be published in the book Best of College Photograph 2010 in June.
