Yes that is exactly how those little art juried shows, that I mentioned, 
worked.  They usually published the number of entrants, maybe 2500, of 
which maybe 125 will be included in the show.  Entrants payed $0 - $20 
to submit one or two 35mm slides of their work.  It was done by mail and 
the audience was typically the continental US.  I did it for a couple of 
years; anything to get attention, and realistically speaking, it was an 
appropriate forum for the conservative little still lifes I was 
painting.  I remember that I did some calculation that on average, say 
5% of the entrants were selected for any given show, and that I was 
included in say 25% of the shows I entered, so I figured that that meant 
I was doing better than average.  Silly in retrospect.  Every once in a 
while I'd win a small prize or sell a work and that would approximately 
cover my fees and mail expenses for the year so I was able to 
rationalize the whole thing.
