Another gripe I had with the art show:
There was one "big" award for best 2-D art. That means one big award for whoever had an actual drawing or sketch, whoever had a photograph, whoever had a print, or whoever had a painting, or whoever had a digital image. Now, in my opinion, there should be an award for each individual genre of 2-D art.
Best of Show - Drawing
Best of Show - Painting
Best of Show - Photography.. etc..
But no, aparently 2-D art is 2-D art and that is that.
Look at it this way:
One person can get a couple rolls of film, take a hundred pictures at random, 3 of those pictures came out really good, just by chance. They enter those into the art show and take home an honorable mention and Best of Show award for the 2-D genre.
Meanwhile, the "real" artist spends hours and hours using an actual talent to CREATE something out of nothing , creates an incredible piece of work and walks away with just an honorable mention, while the " photographer " walks away with Best of Show for accidentally taking a good picture.
How fair is that?
