Dear Digital Arts Group,

Thank you very much for considering my latest piece ([link].

I regret to inform you that your judging standards have not met the minimum criteria for competence, so unfortunately I must decline membership in your group at the present time.

Based on the judges' work, you may consider the "Novice to Intermediate" or "Constructive Critique" Folders, where the Criteria is more broad and you may receive some feedback.

Please understand that this is not an insult to your skill or your art.  It is understood that acceptance is difficult, and the best way to promote one's own work may be to volunteer as a judge.  Thank you for your participation, and I look forward to your future development.

Here is a link to the submission guidelines: [link]
