However, the return if you win is way more than what it usually worths, so putting that time for either more than what it worths or nothing is a type of gambling you are doing so to speak and should be considered relevant to the business.
As an artist you feel happy if you work is considered by the team giving you rewards for the same but definitely I would say the quality of artworks has really gone up in all those years with this new category based contest from past few one's is really helping to gather more talented people among us.So winning is separate part but we should be creative and put our best efforts.
