Do u think the 12th annual Faces art competition is a scam?

The juror, Laurence Bradshaw, Professor of Art, University of Nebraska Omaha who has exhibited in ‘hundreds of national and international exhibitions’ and recipient of ‘over 200 awards’ – i can find a single piece of his artwork on the internet. The only person close died in 1976 in Liverpool England….
oops, i ‘cant’ find a single piece of his artwork online….

I have been in many juried shows and received awards. You never know what the jurors will like. It is common practice among artists to see what type of artwork the juror does before entering a show to better select which pieces the juror might like. I doubt it’s a scam but the beauty of art or anything for that matter lies in the eyes of the beholder. It would be better if his work was available online through a gallery or something. Or maybe he could even display his art online through an art community / art gallery like I do, all for free.
