There are obviously many differing views of exhibits and the role of hosting. I no longer see exhibits as detrimental, but I can see that it is frustrating from the persepctive of the host to try to run a mini and to see more exhibits that submissions or, as just happened, multiple exhibits and no submissions to evaluate at all. Perhaps interest is declining further, and so be it. In an ideal world, we would have a host propose a topic, anyone interested submitting images with no need to identify whether they are competitive or exhibits, healthy feedback and discussion of the images from all, and one of the posters at the end declaring, "That was a fun one. I've got a good idea to post for the next round." I do not expect that to occur, and the judging aspect provides structure and a tiny bit of incentive.

Forget all of my musings here. For wrapping this up and moving forward, I'll leave it out there for the next 24 hours for anyone who participated in the last mini to volunteer to host the next. If no one wishes to do so, and if no one makes an alternate suggestion or objects, I'll step in Friday evening and post a new mini.
