I do particularly like the idea. I think it very well could be more challenging from a technical point of view i.e. force people to learn how to do a specific type of thing with the software; but I thought it pretty much bled any creativity and originality from the endeavor. And I think that is what most people look for in their art, the chance to express themselves as they see fit. As to post work, I could care less. I do think it only right for people to declare themselves as to how much post work is in the scene, so voters can choose for themselves if it's important to them. But having two branches Post/NoPost seems a bit overkill to me. I seem to recall that challenges had two parts, the artistic challenge where the winner was voted on, and the technical challenge that someone (the moderator? - I don't remember) judged. Maybe something along those lines would work? jon
