And how is it related to new/old users? On the other hand, since the competition will not offer prize, the objective of the participation is not to win, but to show the picture that you think the best, or hope to share with others. So, in my opinion, the most important thing I hope to get in this kind of competition is to see how different people use different approaches to draw the same topic. >The one bad thing about contests like that is that they make ONE winner >and MANY, MANY losers! It would be better if we could find a way to flip >that around somehow... So, what do you think then? I didn't receive much response these days. So, for the guys who are interested in it, please show me your interest! Then I'll post the topic and rules here.
