I'm happy with the decision - I hope (and know) we are all able to learn a lot from this!</p>Matt BlalockSun, 15 Mar 2009 21:53:16 -0000http://vewd.org/contest/?page_id=98#comment-7215529<p>Matt, I think this is the best thing to do as I myself had experienced it. Having a conversation is better and which I think foster discussion. Panos' start was something that I can learn a great deal.</p>estanSat, 14 Mar 2009 13:10:10 -0000http://vewd.org/contest/?page_id=98#comment-7193334<p>As you mentioned above..<br>voting does not bring anything to the table...<br>i can create 1000 "robots" with emails and vote for myself 1000 times...<br>its not gonna affect judges or anybody but it does one major damage...<br>People think that by voting they just did their "job"...<br>Even if all the votes are totally honest... there is no comment exchange...<br>no conversation... no learning... so whats the point...<br>And imagine all those "unpopular" kids, no families, no friends... maybe orphans...<br>Nobody will vote for them...<br>But does that make their essays lesser or not good enough???<br>of course not..<br>ALL, JUDGES, STUDENTS, PHOTOGS... please get involved...<br>ask questions, disagree , agree... LEARN... GET INVOLVED ... there is no other way..<br>All... please show that you car... its a great opportunity here....</p>panosskoulidasFri, 13 Mar 2009 21:13:06 -0000
