Thanks so much John and Enzie!

The notification of winners ( I guess you mean those included in the exhibition) will come on March 15, 2006, just following the second, final round of jurying. The purpose of the second round, is to judge the semifinalist submissions in actual presence before the jury, so the quality, finish and contextual impact of the work can be experienced firsthand. The first round of jurying we just got through was by either submission of a slide or small digital image. The Smithsonian Institution is paying for the shipping of the original semifinalist's works to the National Portrait Gallery, and the judging will take place during that first or second week in March. The final show opens to the public on July 1, 2006. I bet that final selection will be interesting to see; I hope so!
