You answered your own question, before you asked it. Unless your intentionally working for, or trying to create art for someone else, you're working for yourself. If you like your work enough to jealously want it on your own wall, be happy and satidfied. It's absolutely wonderful if others like your work as much as you do, which is what really makes this oportunity wonderful.
I remember how I felt back in the days when I was taking photography courses at my local community college and entered several photos into contests at the schools gallery that were accepted. Just getting accepted was great. I actually won some 2nd and 3rd place ribbons which I still cherish the memory of, even though it was only a real local thing. I can imagine what you're going through. Be proud, be happy, and remember no matter what happens, your work is good enough to be considered.
Best of luck today,
Brian
