Oh! I actually had an idea this year, and was planning on entering... but there is no love for Aussies. Again.

Hmmmm... GW art prints you say? Definitely interested now.

I was pretty set on never entering another GW-related contest ever again but if there is a chance to win at least one art print from the art staff... might have to give it a shot.

Company's just get around that requirement by having the contests winners answer a "skill based" question, usually a simple math question like "what does 1 + 1 equal." They will then award the prize, irrigardless of whether or not you got the question right, since attempting to answer the question is a "skill based" endeavor. Although, since this particular contest is actually a contest where things are judged (ie, drawing things is definately skill based), it doesn't even really apply, some lawyer is just including the math problem just to be on the safe side.

Interesting stuff. I never knew that. Thanks.

BTW, what's the deal with Rhode Island?

Silly question but isn't an art contest by its definition a game of skill?
