Just caught up on this thread and the previous related thread. My 2 cents: Her work is not bad, but not great. if she figured out how to get voted into the top 20, then good for her. The top 20 is a popularity contest, plain and simple. If she was able to get people to vote for her, then she's in there legitimately. Any one of us could do the same. So where's the unfairness? What it really sounds like people want here is a top 20 that is voted in by an impartial set of judges who can't be influenced by any particular artist. That would be a more 'fair' assessment of wether the work is worthy according to the tastes of the judges. The thing about art is, everyone's tastes are different. So, what to do?
