I haven't read through all the comments, but is this an ANNONOMOUS Contest, because if it is not, how then do you keep it from becoming a popularity contest for the artist and not the work?
Also, should it not be better to have All Unpublished Submissions. That way no one can circumvent the Anonymous Entry part?
Just some thoughts and questions from a new guy that would not stand a chance is Hades next to the Heavy Hitters in a Non-Anonymous, Non-Unpublished Contest!!!!!
