Whatever training the Appeals staff received was clearly deficient. This is not surprising when the official criteria are not clear. They say ‘personal names’ cannot be used in titles or descriptions while also requesting artist’s names and official titles if known. So, can you nominate the Washin…

I’ve posted “art work” here on the forum if you have enough time to surch that :sweat_smile: Yes here it was a failure and was overturned. Dulait post I’ve only added it for collection reasons
