I don't believe in rating art. Leaving comments is fine, but anything that separates "good from bad" art is wrong in my eyes and doesn't encourage a community of art appreciation. I know that the FWW and the Hot 20 and the other lists are supposed to give people something to aim for, but what happens if they don't make it? These lists create a divide between the people who are on them and the people who are not. While it may start out as inspiration for you to improve. If you never make it into one of these lists then by definition your "art is bad" because if it was any good you would be on the list. Do we really need to put more pressure on people to be "included" when all we should really be doing is enjoying art.
