This really isn't fair to either of us. The people who entered the contest and also to the people who are hosting them. It was a great why to motivate everyone into joining and to hone in on ones skills and expand the skills you have. I know I have no chance in winning any of the contest thats not the point, the point in the contest is what I stated. To advance and learn more to better yourselves in the art world. I have had loads of fun entering these contest. Its been a great experience for me as a person who loves to learn to improve on themselves. Someone please explain to me WHY we were not notified and where is it noted that it is wrong to be holding these contest. Why would a company discourage anyone from holding a contest, where they are gonna give you prizes or GC's out of their pockets? Isn't that a way for this company to make more money? Just my opinions.
