"If we keep it as simple as 50/25/10c for 1st/2nd/3rd prize, then if there are 3 arts that are already submitted here, other artworks will be discouraged." (Frankly that is one of the reasons I never join art contests HA) Jokes aside tho, that is why it's called a contest. People compete with another to gain the prizes. To give their best to have a chance to gain that prizes. That's why Von and me kinda try to shift that a bit, coz right now you have basically no ambition to compete. "We want to make sure that each art submitted here should have fair chance to participate." In a contest, by default ALL art has a fair chance. If it doesn't, then it's not the fault by artist X being more talented but by the judges honestly. By that logic, I am never allowed to join any contest anymore, since I am subjectively more talented and might give others a not fair chance. If you don't want "discourage" people; then don't call it contest and make a "we want commission artists for the following" post. "Also, on your point, about the "worthy" word, there's many times where art is simple enough but creative, or detailed, if we go by votes or something, both can land into 1st place, but having their own value based on efforts gives the chance to gain something for simple arts as well as detailed arts too." The worthy part was aimed for the negotiate, not the placings. Also, if more then one art hits first place, why not reward both equal then? (For Load screens it can work easily; Card art would be more difficult since only one can be in game in the end) The whole worthy problem is; you guys say you give a CHANCE to negotiate. But what happen if you can't find a common ground with the artist? This whole thing might open up more problems and makes it more complicated as it needs to be (example, just offer a fix prize the artist agrees on by joining the whole event). I" see your first point of not luring the participants, but what if we just had 3 prize and 3 great artworks are already submitted? that would also discourage new participants, so having fixed price is something that was taken off the list." See my first and second respond. "Also, It's not everyone niche to do loading screen/etc, some people likes to do all, some might have particular niche." In all honesty, this whole thing had might been A LOT easier, if you just had make it a card contest (like we had a bunch in the past already); and simultaneously a "we hire artists for LoadScreens/Patcher/Webpage artwork" post. Right now it feels like all is stuffed in one contest for the sake of it.
