ANST - Ideas for a new style A&S c

[joelight]

Unfortunately, the event I was referring to happened only two months ago. 
However, I am glad that you are trying, as a group, to work on it.  I know
that when we put many differing backgrounds and opinions together that it
is difficult to come to any kind of consensus.  I think it would be helpful
to have a spot on the entry form where you can list people who might be at
the event who have experience working in the same field as your piece. 
Then the Laurels/judges could consult and, not only be better judges, but
learn something, too!
