My Second Contest

For my second FAA contest I chose the title "I Would Really Enjoy Selling This" and that's exactly what it's about - helping other artists get more exposure and hopefully some sales!

In my first contest I chose to limit voting to FAA members, which includes only members who joined at least 30 days before the contest began. That helps keep the voting from becoming a popularity contest, and the winners are more likely to be the ones voted as best. This time I did the opposite - I opened voting to everyone and actually encouraged it becomming a popularity contest. The more traffic, the more exposure for everyone!

There was more than twice the number of submissions for the second contest, probably because the first had a narrow subject theme, Architectural Detail. This one had no specific subject, just whatever item the artist wanted to promote. (Both subjects allowed only one entry per artist. I think allowing more makes the contest voting unwieldy. There were almost 400 entries in this contest. If I'd allowed 2 (or 5) entries per person, few voters would have taken the time to go through them all to vote. That leads to the last items entered getting the most votes because they are the first seen when you go to vote.

Voting on this contest ends on Sunday, August 31st, 2014 at 11:57 AM. If there's still time, you're welcome to vote!

Thanks for reading!
