entered in our previous virtual or live shows.

Entries will be numbered so that they are anonymous when they are judged.
BIS judges will be asked to make their choices.
Members are encouraged to view entries in the member's area of the website and
may vote for their favourite by e-mailing kentiris@aol.com with name and number of
exhibits.
