    Prize support is nice, but the real reason people enter a painting contest is for the recognition and acknowledgment from their piers. But, not only could we not scrape together $20 in prize support for the 1st place winners, this year we couldn't even be bothered to read out their names!

    That's right! we accepted money from people, from some for no other reason than the privilege of participating in some friendly competition, and then didn't even think it was worth giving them the satisfaction of knowing how they did! How is that for a '**** You, thanks for playin'?

    If WGC can't even carve out some funds or even some prize support from vendors, or hell even printing up a certificate, then don't insult people by having the damn thing.

    It was not just pathetic, it was rude and inconsiderate.

    If we can't even be bothered to read the category winners names out and hand out at least some certificates then I say this event goes away. Seriously. This was some BS.

    ETA: However the two winners that were announced did get GREX Airbrushes.

    If I tell you, "You're wrong," you'll need to click this.

    Does anybody else find it odd, by the way, that the information age has led to language becoming an oblique and imprecise tool where even the most straightforward phrasing is pored over with chicken entrails and bone tossing to divine the true meaning?
