Voting

We want this compo as fair as possible. We have a jury and public votes.  For public votes, please read "How to vote" first. 

A link for voting will be published here. 

Votes will be weighted. The voting of judges will count 50% or less, depending on the amount of votes.

How to vote

Voting can be a very difficult task. Giving stars seems most appropriate to me, as it is similar to marks in school. 

  • You can give 1 to 5 points/stars.
  • No points/stars, means no voting.
  • 5 stars is the best possible vote. You can give it to a few or many entries.
  • Stars:
    • 1 star is the worst entry. As everybody did his/her best, you should give this vote only, if you think that this entry is not worth being an entry. 1 star could be seen as equivalent of an F in school (failure /"not enough"). In short: avoid this vote.
    • 2 stars for pictures which could be improved  (so so)
    • 3 stars for average pictures (OK)
    • 4 stars for good pictures (you like)
    • 5 stars for very good pictures (you love)
  • When voting, consider several factors:
    • Use of characters
    • Use of colours
    • Effort and complexity
    • Idea / fun / message
    • Uniqueness (vs copy, conversion, ..)
    • Novelty
    • Style
    • Shapes within the painting (squares are easier to paint than circles or other more complex objects)
  • Do not vote for yourself

Will be announced in time.
