what would some of the reasons be for not being chosen to do a card?

Well this is a juried art application, so we’ll be choosing artists based on whoever we feel has the best ability to create a particular card.

It may come down to the cards you applied for as well- there are quite a few cards with a large number of applicants, and some with far fewer, so the odds of getting selected for a card with say 20 other artists are obviously significantly lower. 

That’s why we allowed people to select 5 potential cards, and have been updating the chart showing how many applicants each card has, so hopefully it isn’t too imbalanced.
