I'm pondering participating in an art competition.
Pro:
- taking my creative side seriously
- a chance of getting some recognition from the outside world
- pushing myself (doing things I fear)
Cons:
- there will be television cameras
- the daunting task of presenting my works in front of a jury
- there will be television cameras
- the professor is quite strong in his recommendation to avoid this kind of show (he thinks there will be manipulation,...)
- did I mention that there will be television cameras?

- loads of candidates, getting through is a long shot
The deadline is fast approaching, decisions, decisions...
