"Dear Diahn,
Thank you for your entry in Eye Candy AVA's Juried Member exhibit. Your work was among a very impressive group of entries of various styles and media, and the decision-making process was a difficult one. Out of 234 entries, only 49 works were selected to participate in this exhibition. Unfortunately, the juror did not accept your work(s) for this show..."

Sorry for the downer, but I did say there might be some wailing and moaning...Wail...Moan...
