Even some entries that I thought themselves were not good enough, instead won the number 1 place.
Assessment is not only in terms of good appearance or not, but how the work can describe the theme being contested.
Because many works look good in technique but do not depict the theme of the contest.
It's a matter of subjectivity at the end of the day. It's pretty evident that the Roobet team repeatedly selects certain forum members because of their consistently great works over time.
Everybody will always have a different opinion on which artwork they find the best, but I think the Roobet team is always doing a pretty good job with selecting the winners.
They sure are though the side effect was many members giving up on these contests completely and the reduction in participant numbers is pretty noticeable.
