tan, I was curious as to if you have considered having the artists leave something of an artist's description or note concerning their submitted piece. Art is very interpretive, but the artist is the creator, and many times, we try to convey certain things in our pieces of work. This may include how we situate the subject(s), our use of line, etc... Whether we mean it or not, we most likely meant to do particular things in the drawing itself, and as such, it may prove interesting to see the maker's notes.

However, I wouldn't exactly suggest having an artist's notes be seen before the judging, for that could very well, whether consciously or not, skew the judges' thoughts and interpretations.

So if you consider and ask or suggest that we do this, I would then suggest that our notes appear after the judging. I have always found artists' notes on their work to be quite interesting, and I am sure others would agree.

Just a thought.
