I am aware that the entrants for this competition come from across the world but did anyone see a name they recognised? It would have been so good to see a name we knew on the short list.

Hi Louise, I'm pleased to hear you were short listed. Even if it was two years ago it shows that it can happen. Probably the fact that none of us featured this year is due to the lesser quality of our work - or possibly the better quality of work submitted elsewhere.

Enough, no more, 'tis not so sweet as it was before. WS.

Absolutely, Paul, it was. And definitely something to use when querying.

Hi Louise, that must have been really exciting to be short listed, and of course when you are submitting it's a plus to be able to put that in your contact letter. Regards Paul..
