I had originally talked up this project to anyone I knew who would listen because I thought it was a great idea with the potential to reach a broad audience and raise awareness about important issues. It seemed as though DA had established relationships with a number of influential organizations in order to get the word out about Global Warming, and had managed to attract a number of high profile jurors. I was impressed. Additionally, - like other participating artists I spoke to- I was psyched and excited to get my work about issues I considered significant in front of influential persons, as well as a potentially huge segment of the general populace. It wasn't about 'winning' a contest, it was exposing your work to a wide audience and having the opportunity to raise awareness about important issues.
So that's why I'm disapointed and hugely irritated at the way this judging process played out. I didn't realize that submissions would be internally pre-screened by persons unknown as though in some stupid high school popularity contest. It completely defeats the purpose of participating in this event!
(FYI- Don't advertise all these great jurors and emphasize all the wonderful media opportunities IF the most important step in the process is apparently making it past some anonymous committee of DA members..)
And as for the argument that the important jurors are too 'busy' to look at all entries, Got news for you- the total number of submissions for 'Cool Climate' -even after the deadline was extended- was still a very manageable amount of entries that most jurors would have been able to deal with. Professional artists/administrators/panelists do it all the time.
Bottom line: Such an important issue, so much potential for the project, such a diversity of great ideas and great works submitted. There's absolutely no reason why every single entrant couldn't have their submissions viewed by the jurors. Any narrowing down of the pool should have been done by the jurors alone, definitely not pre-screened internally by DA members. Totally uncool.
