Michael Maier was selected at the 2009 Miami Competition/Aqua Art Miami Exhibition as one of the Finalists !!!Today I received a mail from Catherine McCormack-Skiba :
"This time I was part of the selection jury. I must say it was an excellent jury, consisting of 5 representatives from world-class institutions. We worked very diligently at viewing and scoring the contestants and arriving at a series of winners and finalists. It is never an easy process, and all of us were impressed with the quality of work.
For those of you who are amongst the 50 top finalists, we want to pass on our congratulations. The competition was incredible and your work clearly stood out.
Kind Regards,
Catherine McCormack-Skiba "
