Have you ever submitted entries to an exhibit and, after the results are announced, wondered what the rest of the field was like? Which entries were not selected vs those that were?
Darkroom Gallery exhibits have a feature that makes this possible, for those that are willing to share their entries with other submitters, you will be able to see all entries from others in that exhibit who are also willing to share. The idea is to help submitters gain inspiration, motivation, and to reflect on your Juror's perspective. The review period is limited to the date the results are announced through the date the exhibit opens. Once the results are announced, there is no changing your mind about participating. This is critical for maintain fairness so don't even ask.
If you are already entered into an exhibit, and checked the View and be Viewed box when you registered, you can view the next pending exhibit entries here once selections are announced: Exhibit Entry Review
Submitter Feedback:
"I love this feature! Gives me an idea what people have submitted versus what you have chosen for the exhibit. I enjoyed it and find it very useful."
Markus Goerg
"This is a great idea. I really enjoyed looking at all the shared photos, and it was especially valuable that they could be enlarged. Without the enlarging feature, it would have had little value since you can't really see what's in the photos when they are small. But your presentation is excellent. Nice work, and I recommend that you continue with this feature. Thanks…"

"I liked having the ability of viewing some of the other images that were submitted. It is insightful to what the Jury was looking for. Thank you."

"I think the View and be Viewed feature is a great idea. Good to see the ranges of what people are looking at and how they are photographing whatever 'it' may be."
