I've not paid a whole bunch of attention to formal A&S competitions, so 
I may be missing something, but does a "body of work" display (actually 
this sounds more like competition than display) necessarily mean there 
is a face to face judge and entrant interview? And conversely, can't 
you have a single body of work competition that has a face to face 
interview?

The only competitions/displays I've ever tried to enter were the 
populace displays at Pennsic and Gulf Wars. And the main thing I 
desired from these was feedback. I got a little bit of feedback, and a 
pair of nice brass straight pins, at the Pennsic one. I entered my 
display of pewter work. But I've never gotten gotten any feedback from 
either the pewter or the wheelbarrow at Gulf Wars. Nor could I ever 
find out how many "beads" I got voted, since they were periodically 
picked up, and the totals never given to me. Oh well. Perhaps I'll try 
again in the future. But I don't do enough, nor is my work good enough 
(yet) for Laurel's Prize Tourney and such. where some folks have said I 
need to go if I want comments.

For those interested in a less serious A&S display, there is still time 
to create and enter a tile at Pennsic for the Florilegium Tile Display. 
You don't have to be present to enter if you can send it up with 
someone. http://www.mindspring.com/~tripper/serena/TileProject/
