I have no idea how the show want, who won, where to view the results. Plese help....this is a good idea but was very confussing. I was never able to load the sticker onto my page. I would like to be able to view the winner's piece and see all the others how can I do that.
Thanks Ruth Edward Anderson

yeah it's a popularity contest. and while i can gently let my friends and family know that i'm in a contest, i don't feel good about going around soliciting votes based on the fact that someone knows me. just seems dishonest. marketing is what it is and i'm a big fan of it, but i'm also a big fan of art being judged on its own merits, and not based on the fact that a cute girl flashed a smile and got 1475 men to think for an instant that they stood a chance with her if they voted...for example. not that that happened, just an example of something theoretically that could happen. if my artwork sucks it shouldn't win because i have more friends. and likewise, a person with amazing artwork and NO friends shouldn't be penalized. so that's what somehow has to be resolved in future competitions. maybe juried. i don't know, even on a giant scale like American Idol, one is still going to try to have their friends vote for him/her. I suppose that's inevitable. so i don't have the answer right now, but i'm more than willing to work on it for the purposes of having an honest competition.

Hi guys, thanks for all the feedback, we really appreciate it. You raise some great points, and we do have some kinks to work through. The Best of 2008 was meant to be a "people's choice" project, but as you pointed out, there were some drawbacks to that approach. This included a bug that listed more than one piece for some of the artists in the top 50 list on Friday. We've corrected the script and the final list will be announced on Monday.

As a way to continue this conversation, and have your voice help shape how we structure competitions going forward, we've set up a feedback discussion group at: http://www.brooklynartproject.com/forum/topics/community-competitions-what I invite each of you to share your thoughts and opinions.

We've also set up a General BAP Feedback and Recommendations discussion where you can share your ideas about anything across the board: http://www.brooklynartproject.com/forum/topics/general-bap-feedback-and

It's our member's talent and passion that has allowed BAP to grow into such a unique and interesting community, and it's your voice that will form it's future. Thank you guys again for all the feedback, we value it immensely.

Best,
Anthony

I'll chime in here about the voting process, etc in this contest and the remarks of Moinka and Jaap.. Some people happen to have lots of friends. Some people like myself don't (I am happy that way) but the thing that bugged me is that, and I guess I didn't read the instructions well, to vote for an artist, you had to sign up and become a member of BA first. Once I found that out, I lost my enthusiasm. I guess I'm not much of a salesman. Just my two cents. I think all of the artists on this site are greatly talented and I get inspiration from them all.
