This is a personal opinion and I would like to check If anybody agrees/disagrees. I think using freebies is a great way to learn. However I would prefer if the use of freebies could be limited in some way in the challenges and images allowed to be voted into the hot20. I'm a judge this month at the Bryce forum gallery (Watchful eye, Brude MacLeods place) and when I see a contribution that consist mostly of freebies and presents (such as Poser figures) then I don't vote for it (even if it might be great). Well.. anyway. That's how I think about it.
