Those who publish their old work may deliberately not explain if the work has been published. Because they think they will definitely get more appreciation. Meanwhile, for works that are actually just made a little, they get an appreciation. The jury must be more selective in determining who deserves to be a winner.
There's no need to explain that in the thread because there's no rule stopping us from doing that. I don't post it for appreciation I posted it for the contest. If you appreciate my artwork, I would be pleased! But if not, it's just fine, I cannot force people to like my artwork we have different kind of taste with regards to an artwork.
I understand if you didn't like my painting, we have a different perspective in terms of appreciating an art. Still, I gave my 100% to that, and I hope you can understand that. Just because it's old artwork, it doesn't mean I don't put effort into it.
Yes, I understand and I appreciate your artwork, regardless of the old artwork or not, I still appreciate it. As @veleor said, new artwork must be prioritized for this contest, so it does not turn into an exhibition of old ideas. I'm glad you have critical thoughts about the artwork you have.
I am waiting for your new artwork and I will appreciate it. Keep on working, brother.
