I was just reintroduced to this site (having lurked in the past, though I did not try to register) at the William Whitaker workshop last week in Scottsdale - where I also had the pleasure to meet Linda Brandon and Chris Saper (thanks again for the nummy cookies, Chris!).
I have no problem with the way the registration is set up, it's helps concentrate the professional conduct of the forum. It's also wonderful that you still keep the forum open for others to view - a lot of great info that obviously a lot of artists find useful.
I might still try to register, though I'm not sure my work is up to par. Also, I haven't done many people, though I've done steady work in horse portraits over the years. I'm not sure if non-human paintings are OK to send the jurors. I'm also not aiming to get into doing primarily people portraits, but being better able to paint people adds to what I can offer with equine commissions and original work.
Either way, I should have something human to show soon enough, seeing as I'm now fired up thanks to the workshop. Aside from a large commission of a local physician astride his lipizzan stallion, I'm planning on starting a self portrait, and might even bribe my kids to model for me.
