though hard to win because we have seen a great set of participants that wins each time and yes they are good actually .
It is indeed easier to join in hand drawing because there is no fee or qualification to get admitted to the contest. A person can just draw and take a picture of his art. The question would be, is the person who is mediocre in hand drawing can win? Unlike with digital art, a person must know how to use apps that enable him to draw, he also need a gadget for drawing and many more. So in a digital art contest, aside from having the skill in drawing, the person also need the skill to use the application and gadget in producing digital art. It is more complex than just the hand drawing.
if you do really put side by side a handrawing and something that been made by some software or application then difference is big. Its a non fair i would say and this is why they do make out adjustments
according into choosing basing on category.
This is why we do really call that "SKILL" which it is really that normal for a competition to have. The better skilled the more chances of winning than to those who are mediocre but doesnt mean that this isnt for everyone. You could freely join but dont expect nor really that optimistic that you would get the winner spot considering that there are lots of talented artists here on this forum then competition is really that high.
You can join but you would really be having that feeling of being overwhelmed on the time you would see others entries.
