The problem I am having this year with the big surge in entries (due to just being able to select pieces from regular galleries) is that there are too many to narrow down to just a few per category. So while I am browsing and loving all of the art, I'm not going to vote this year. I just don't have time to try to whittle it down with a billion tabs open.

If the large number of entries continues next year, I would recommend changing the voting system to something similar to what we do here on the boards for BUDGET... As you go through the listings in a category, you can Like or Vote for as many pieces as you want. If something catches your eye, you click Vote right then and move onto the next piece. Then, all of the totals are tallied up.

Overall, the middle will get lifted up with more overall votes, showing more diversity and breadth of tastes, while the top will still be the top.

But most importantly, an individual voter doesn't have to spend time ordering their own selects down to just 3, 5, x, etc.

I like this style of voting much better. I'm not sure how much extra work it is on Bill / CAF's end, but I think it would definitely improve the user experience.

I like the idea of voting while browsing. Maybe a 5 star voting system? Vote any where from 1-5 stars (or no vote) on a piece and you can vote as many as you like. Tally points for a winner? This probably adds more overhead work than Bill might want to take on but it may be worth it as evidence by how many more entries this year due to the ease of entering. Make voting easier and you may have more activity there as well. Or not. 

 

I do understand the larger number of entries does make harder to look thru so many entries and pick your top 5 choices. Bill and I will discuss changes for next year and take in all the feedback, but not looking to open up voting to be like the CGC budget voting. We want to keep selections limited but will look into ways to better narrow down selections. Doing the 5 star system just opens up more complications.
