Re: Ordover Gallery San Diego Natural History Museum
Juried Show

Dear Photographer:

We have just finished judging the more than 2,300 fine images submitted
by 520 photographers. The museum staff spent the better part of two days
in the first round effort and I judged 270 images to reach the final
acceptance number of 72 to be hung in the museum.

I am very pleased to tell you that the attached image of yours has been
accepted. The awarding of prize money will await receipt of the actual
prints for the show. We will send you instructions in the next several
days as to size of prints and applicable deadlines.

The show will open on Saturday June 27 at 11 am with a party at the
museum for all entrants, their families and friends and visitors to the
museum. The show will remain on public view until September 13th.

A substantial portion of your entry fees will go to support the museum
and its activities. Thank you for participating in this contest and
congratulations.

Sincerely,
Abe Ordover
