"The AOM, AOY, AOD or whatever doesn't matter. Rosity is a little fish in the art world. their contest doesn't bring any glory or look really good on your portfolio.." Well that's part of it but not all of it- in the past they have offered a week hotel stay at siggraph, free entrance into siggraph and promoted the AOY. They also are now branching into a magazine who's distribution area is growing. They are trying to become bigger, more professional. Which is why they need to address these issues. For their own sake as well as for the sake of the members.
