I think Artist Wanted concept is a great idea. But I also feel a lot of information should be made clear right upfront for artist before they participate.
Like most artist I was pleased to stumble upon this competition. Thinking for once there is a organizer who is really giving opportunity to budding emerging artist. And I love the fact that your work is judge by the public and then a panel of judges at the later stage. All you need is collect 77 votes and get your work uploaded to Times Sq. Sounds good and fair.
So I spend a few hours carefully select my work and submit. Only after you hit the submit button, another banner immediately appear promoting the ‘$50 PROFESSIONAL PASS’ guarantee to get your work featured at Times Sq.
So technically $50 buy you a immediate access to Times Sq. I don’t have a problem paying the $50. But I just cant help feeling been taken for a ride. Where some people might argue $50 for fame is nothing, I feel the least the organizer could do is to put the information right upfront, not at the end.
Also if anybody can just pay their way to get their work featured, then what’s so big deal about this competition? It’s irony that its called PROFESSIONAL PASS. What so professional about it?
Am I the only one who feel this way?
Anyway I refused to pay for it. It doesn’t matter if my work didn’t get featured. Its the principle.To those who have vote for me, Thank You.Really appreciate it.
