I had one pot accepted in the Feats of Clay XIV 2001 Exhibition.  Feats of Clay is an important contemporary juried clay show sponsered by the Lincoln Arts & Culture Foundation in Lincoln, California.  I was tickled to be accepted as this show is for established and emerging artists with a national overview of what's happening in clay.  
The accepted pot was the first Rain Pot I had made.  I had not planned on submitting the piece for sale, but one of the show requirements was that the piece be for sale.  So I sent my baby off, hoping it would not sell and would come back home.  Lo and behold, the pot was purchased by a sponser AND received a cash prize award.  I can't complain.  
 
The pot is 16" tall and was glazed and fired twice.
