I completely agree. I don't enter A&S to necessarily "win"
a competition. However, I have gotten great feedback and
information on how to improve my art form, which ever one is
currently displayed, from other experts. Also, by entering
or displaying, I've had a chance to get an idea of "who does
what" in our game. Alot of times the people we can really
learn from in particular areas, some are Laurels, some are
not, have gone on to do other arts, without displaying, I
would have never known that, for example, Mistress Branwyn
used to do embroidery! or that Gunnora is something of an
herbalist. These discussions are worth much more to me than
any prize in a competition.
