I love how people are concluding that the OP was an assumption.

It was from something the judge actually SAID, not from any rash conclusions. The judge even said that he/she ignored it to give others a chance. It's even stated in the OP.

you didn't state that it actually happened in the OP

i thought you were in denial!

You're not supposed to be biased to anyone or against anyone, you're supposed to look at the quality of the work and judge which you believe to be the best. If you do otherwise than you're breaking the rules and thinking "I should let the others have a chance" well that chance will probably make the one that truely deserved to win not win! Congratulations, your dishonesty in the name of wussiness has given credit to people who didn't deserve it as much as someone else. /rage And no, this hasn't really happened to me before, but it makes me rage when it does. -------------------- Dylan the Armadillo (Redesign finished)

If a participant's entry is beyond a scale of the rest to the point it wins hands down, denial of the entry is at times the best choice. It's a silent award that the judges acknowledge, but isn't viewed during the judging. That being said, it's only bull** if the participant considers it bull. It's mostly a sign the entry needs to be judged in a more advanced competition. Again, very much a positive thing, not negative. -------------------- GREAT DAZE** LIFE'S A DICE RÖLL -- Cappy Ref [Akiba Psychadelic!] -- Raie Ref [Neon Orgasm] -- Des Ref [Neon Evangelical] -- Shawn Ref [Akiba Delight] -- Shawn Ref[Sarcasm Splendor] -- Jazz Ref [Delightful Cancer] -- Mechant Ref [The Humanoid Cancer] -- Bip Ref [Cancer or Bust] -- Mirror Ref [FRUSTRATIAON!] -- Tek Ref [Look ma, no hands!] -- Elyk Ref [Spidery & Devious] -- DemonLemon Ref[Cancer Lemon] -- Fez Ref [Dohohoho] -- MK1 Ref [Black Mischief] -- Grey Ref[Teh Cancer] -- Grey Ref [Gem Get] -- Cappy Ref [Shoopin the Works] -- ChaosEmerl Ref [READY TO BRAWL] -- GreenDragonXIII Ref [Original Ref /JSR's Twin Brother] -- Real Life Ref -- MFGG Wiki Page!

There's no positive message there at ALL. They're simply telling you that you stray from the norm.

If you choose to believe you're Too Good For This Sinful Earth, it's your business and yours only.

That's mainly the reason several actually well-planned contests have different categories and different awards: Let the best work be called the best, and the best amateur work be called the best amateur work. Let the runner ups be runner ups, and the rest is just dust in the wind.

Otherwise it's just unfair, whether you go one way or the other. If you choose to judge everyone the same way, then all the amateurs would be crushed by the pros who go in for the kicks/to see if they're still good/to preserve a certain elitism (yes this happens). If you choose to disqualify a work for being too good, you might ruin the hopes for an amateur who's actually talented and doesn't have the credentials to enter a contest for pros.
