Best of 2019: The Results..... 0

[Brian Peck]

Bill has posted the results of the Best of 2019. He will be sending out an email to all registered CAF members.

There was 1084 pieces of art submitted, and 249 people submitted art. Only 164 people voted.

Results posted here: https://www.comicartfans.com/bestofyrtopwinners.asp

The page shows the top 3 vote getters, you will have to select the individual categories to see the rest of the voting.

Congrats to all who entered and received votes!!!!!

 

Comparing the number who entered and the those who voted I can see there is work to be done next year to make voting easier. This year we made a great leap in entries but that also contributed to not everyone voting who entered. I will be asking for feedback thru a separate thread, hopefully we will find a good way to improve the voting for Best of 2020.

Congrats to everyone who played !

Top 8 and Top 7 finishes for my two strongest entries (Frazetta & Artgerm)... I'll take it. : ) 

That Alex Raymond strip art with 36 votes... a true testament to our community's class.

I got a vote 

 

My collecting acumen has been validated. I can continue for another year.

2nd place in the published splash page, pinup category - honored and humbled.  So much amazing artwork,  was hard to narrow the categories down to only five. 

 

Thanks for all the hard work. 

Happy hunting in 2020.

ARGH!!!!!

A fellow collector pointed out to me that a Wally Wood numbered print was submitted to the Best of 2019. And it got 6 votes.

Can people please follow the rules. This was for original artwork not prints.

I gave up after voting on Covers, just too much art. That's not something you can fix. As somebody noted to me Bill's "fixes" are probably why there are so many more pieces this year.

Ashamed to admit I haven't participated in this for a number of years, but having looked through the results I see that a large number of pieces got zero votes.  My question is, can you not vote for your own entry?  I would think every entry would get at least that one vote, yes?

I believe you can vote for your own piece(s) but many participated and didn’t bother to show up at the polls.

I saw that one but was expecting it to be policed and deleted.

I submitted an entry in the Covers category. It got 4 votes (thanks to those that took the time and found favor with my entry). I didn't vote for my own cover...there were so many other great entries. If I thought I deserved to be in the top 5 I'd vote for myself, but the submissions in all category were pretty great.

Frankly, I didn't have the time to look a all the pieces and vote ... One week was too short.

No you can not. Its about sharing what you liked the best that you acquired in 2019. Since you picked them as your top 5 everyone else knows they are your favorites.

OK will take that into consideration.

Seriously? I mean, it took me all of 15 minutes of looking at some really great art. Seriously, that's your complaint?

Actually you can vote for your own entries.

I thought so, too.

[Ironmandrd]

It passed so quickly that I didn't vote.  I like seeing all the things I missed during the year.

you aren't suppose to vote for your own, I wouldn't be surprised if Bill set it up so that you can't.
