Hi Allison,
Think positive. You only have to satisfy 3 of their criteria. Then you will need 3 professional quality A4 size approx photos of your work and I stress professional at a professional printer such as Streets Imaging not K-Mart etc. Since I have done this I will no longer use even my Epson 8 cartridge printer to print out any pictures to submit as the quality is the difference between chalk and cheese. Give it a go or at least set it as a goal and take steps to filling the necessary criteria eg apply for a RADF grant to study with a renown portrait artist which is what I did. It gives you lots more confidence.
Most importantly, enjoy the journey.
Regards from,
Pamela

Ps. I don't know the ages of the members but I hope to run into a few at their September exhibition at Parliament House in Canberra.

Thanks Pamela

great advice! It's reassuring knowing you only need to fulfill 3 of the criteria for selection.

Goodluck at the September exhibition! be sure to most more about that.
