I understand the practicality of two step judging but often wonder how much gets rejected in step one that another set of judges would consider award worthy. Years ago I was rejected from a regional show and shortly after won "Best of Show" with the same painting. Obviously the latter judges were far more competent.

This question was answered for me about a half hour after I posted this question. I got a call from Christine Egnoski from the PSA and she was letting me know I was a top 10 finalist in the show, so I asked her who did the inital judging. She said it was the 3 board members of the PSA- Gordon Wetmore, Edward Jonas and
Tom Donahue.
Then the final judging is done by some of the faculty of the show... Burt Silverman, Ray Kinstler and I think Daniel Greene. Maybe Richard Schmid if he is available.

P..S. I was TOTALLY bowled over that I was selected as a Top 10 finalist. I never thought I would make it that far...
