Hello everyone, the judges had their meeting on Sunday afternoon, spent considerable time looking at the submitted works and came back with a list which they felt would be good for a gallery showing.
We would like to say how incredible everyone has been, we received many emails from people and a huge number of submissions (way more than we had originally thought) and it shows how popular this new mobile medium is. Going forward we will be looking for new opportunities to showcase the work done on mobile devices and are excited to be part of a group with so much enthusiasm.
Now to the report, the results from the judges was a little unexpected and it’s safe to say they were being very strict, in the end they only chose 12 pieces. Possibly they were a bit skeptical of art being done on mobile devices or perhaps they were overwhelmed with the amount of submissions to go through. These judges are very much in the painting world so this will reflect their likes and dislikes, whatever made them be strict in their choosing, this is the result. The one dilemma we have is 12 pieces is too little for doing an exhibition so we will have to think of a solution, possibly doing another round of submissions or ….. well we’ll see what we can come up with. Even though the judges were very strict with their choices they were also happy to be included in this event.
The selected pieces will be uploaded tomorrow so everyone can see which ones the judges selected and we will take a few days to decide what to do next.

I’m very curious to see the 12. I can imagine how hard it was to go through such a mountain of fine work.
wow 12 only! jeez.. so where can we see the 12 that were picked?
