Well I for one wont be voting for Aom anymore. I have no idea what the PTB are smoking, damn ! How many members are on this commity? Thats how many tastes will be representative of this community. We all have biases on what we like, by restricting the choices to a few styles you are keeping some really good artists from being chosen. What happens if no one on your Panel likes the work of Gevidal or Curio or Whoever? Then that person will automatically be out of the running for AOM. Not to mention if an artist doesnt get along with some of the paanel, or is controversial. This is a terrible decision and makes me wonder just WTF you people are thinking. Is everyone on your Committe going to visit every gallery and view every image? Once again, a wonderful effort at pissing people off and taking away artists choices.
