Entry fees aren't really all that uncommon either. $20 for three entries is actually fairly cheap from what I've seen. I think Spectrum charges that much per entry for their books, and I've seen some book publishers that charge far more. There was a memorable invitation I got from one that would have charged me over $1000 for the chance to be published in their annual. In that case definitely thanks, but no thanks.
This is the first year they've tried something like this, though, so I imagine they'll eventually work the kinks out. They've had galleries in the past but they were limited solely to digital photography--and I wonder if they haven't just transferred the same rules and guidelines over from that without considering the differences in mediums.
