sara1elo Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 I like to go to the Beauty Contest page to vote to my favourite drawings of the different species of Neopia, it's nice to see that many people still join the contest and try their best to make art. I am a little surprised because it looks like in these last weeks there is a hard debate between two factions of contestants: On one side we have the ones that want the Beauty Contest section on NeoBoards to close down, they say that it is unfair that many "bad drawings" win the BC even with "no quality" just because the SPAM on the forums (the vote for vote thing) or just because they know more people on neopets. On the other side we have the contestants that defend that the advertising of the drawing is a part of the Beauty Contest, probably as important as the drawing that you made for that contest. I must say that I understand all the points of view, it is logical that good artists feel that their work is being understimated, but, on the other hand... If the only winners of this contests were the real artists probably most of us won't have a chance to win... :sad01_anim: People are using BC entries to keep debating about this. Here are some examples: So, what do you think? Is is a bad thing to advertise your art on Neoforums to win some votes? Is it fair for artists who do "real art" or "High quality art" that not so good art wins BC over them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouseykins Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 People may be voting for poorer quality art because of the avatar that comes from the Beauty Contest. If people want to promote their entry then that's fine with me. Everyone deserves a chance to win no mater what their drawing capabilities are. sara1elo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, and art is, you know, such a complex and subjective topic. Probably the one that doesn't have that drawing skills is putting more effort on their work than "the good ones", and asking for votes is the way for them to get a trophy. We can't forget that making a campaign for your drawing on the NeoBoards is hard work too! Mouseykins 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
