About votes: I had suggested a scoring system in a previous post which I'll re-iterate here: 25% for interpretation of idea/theme/concept, 35% for aesthetic appeal (color, composition, balance etc) and 40% for thechnical abilities. That way not only do we get some idea about how people view our works but also how we fare vis-a-vis others asgainst a simple "I vote for..." as well as a structured feedback :-) About time: Well this challenge is in all probability to become a May challenge, so that should give us pleanty time to stretch ourselves. :-)
