thank you and how do you like the idea? and what do you think about digital and painting (not processed photos) in one group?

I can guess it would be less objective, because, since no one can vote for it's own artwork, people might start to vote for authors with higher rating (just for get an additional upvote from a bigger fish).

Also, I don't know how you can stop friends-for-frienfs votes. Let's see how It would work now and based on this, we could make a conclussions for future

Digital&painting (also I would add craft). - imho, you might allow those works for a contests but make different nominations

thank you very much!

What is the next context theme?
