Shrode is the only competition I enter on a (semi-) regular basis, so I'm always pleased when I'm juried in.
Judging was by Rob O'Neil of Albany, NY.

From 1999 to 2021, when the Center for Art and Design closed, he was a tenured faculty member at the College of Saint Rose in Albany, NY.

I was puzzled enough and curious enough to Google your image, to see what it's of. Your home location helped too. Very striking rendering. Good luck with the competition!
