Do you believe that we should seek the validation of experienced and talented professionals rather than those who have limited understanding of the medium and specialty we are creating? With so many businesses that offer awards, why is there not a strong interest from creators in knowing the credentials of judges? Do you know that some work is sent to other countries for review? Do you know that many assigned judges do not have knowledge or experience with your specific type of work when they judge your work? Do you know that in some instances, it is only reviewed by one individual? Where are the published industry guidelines on what makes it great (like other industries have...ie. ISO 9000)? Where do you get your most credible validations for growth?
