Saatchi Showdown
Competition
Now Until - April 26, 2011, 11:59 am
Sadly, Saatchi have recently changed the procedure for their public competition due to a number of complaints. However, the new format involves having several hours available to peruse the thousands of entries in order to make your selection.
Entries are displayed two per page - presented as - one vs the other.
The current showdown has over 5 thousand entries.
I can't provide a link to the piece I've included, but I can at least let anyone reading this know which one of my paintings has been entered:-
Saatchi's changes to the showdown competition were intended to provide a fairer system however, I suspect, the best pieces within the competition may never be seen (or judged) by the public simply because few of us nowadays have sufficient sustained interest to continue through 2 thousand (or so) web pages (and all the loading time involved) to view the entries in order to make a fair and personal choice.
That said, anyone who actually finds my entry (Well Done!) and then votes for it (Yay!!!) is to be applauded and much appreciated!
