Shouldn't the Judge award be independent of the "popularity index", if it were meat to off set any potential unfairness inherent w. the popularity index itself???
The way it is now....one still have to first be in the top 6 among the Popular index, in orde to be considered for the Judge award........doesn't sound like there is much "off-setting of the popular index" going on......????

I must agree with Mei-Ling. I, too, question the fairness of this contest. It does seems that whoever has the most friends & families to click on the stars would simply win by "popularity". I understand that you have a Judge winner to try to "off-set" this flaw in the contest design. However, the Judge award itself is also influenced by this "popularity vote."
I think it's Excellent that you guys try to set up contest as such to bring artists & art lovers together. And I'm grateful for your effort in putting this together.
However, each & every Artist also work so very hard on his/ her own design; and I think it's ashamed that their work could possibly be judged so much based on "simple popularity".
I'd imagine Arts should be judged by it's design, functionality & originality, instead of the popularity of it's designer.
