I've been short listed.

I got this surprising email in my inbox this morning:

Hi Dan,

I am writing to let you know that one of your photos has been short-listed for inclusion in the third edition of our Schmap Minneapolis Guide, to be published later this month.

www.schmap.com/shortlist/p=71896257N00/c=SE20411056

Clicking this link will take you to a page where you can:
i) See which of your photos has been short-listed.
ii) Submit or withdraw your photo from our final selection phase.
iii) Learn how we credit photos in our Schmap Guides.
iv) Browse online or download the second edition of our Schmap Minneapolis Guide.

While we offer no payment for publication, many photographers are pleased to submit their photos, as Schmap Guides give their work recognition and wide exposure, and are free of charge to readers. Photos are published at a maximum width of 150 pixels, are clearly attributed, and link to high-resolution originals at Flickr.

Our submission deadline is Sunday, September 16. If you happen to be reading this message after this date, please still click on the link above (our Schmap Guides are updated frequently - photos submitted after this deadline will be considered for later releases).

Best regards,

Emma Williams,
Managing Editor, Schmap Guides

So I followed the link, read the terms and conditions and submitted the photo. I'm not sure if they're actually going to use it but it was nice to see a random appreciation of the photos. It caps a week of comments and contact submissions from random people on Flickr. It is a good feeling to know that someone likes what you're doing.
