...Totally 100% what I'd like to see more of. <br /><br />First Prize shouldn't mean the best of what entered this year if it is to rank alongside First Prizes of previous years.<br /><br />First Prize should mean a standard has been set and met.<br /><br />Of course much easier if you're judging plants at the Chelsea Show than art in an art competition - but to my mind the principle is the same<br /><br />However being able to identify, recognise and apply some sort of criteria about what First Class means suggests all judges should feel the same way - and have the same acute level of awareness of what does and what does not come up the mark. <br /><br />I'm afraid on occasion I find the judges somewhat lacking in judgement....... but that's just my opinion. I guarantee somebody will feel the same way every year with respect to every open exhibition or art competition.

It's absolutely and completely crackers having a top prize and a "first place" prize - each devalues the other. <br /><br />I find this phenomenon only happens where people are trying to satisfy multiple sponsors. It doesn't happen when there's only one! :)Making A Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509483023337008890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-76936544746646207102013-08-14T21:18:13.236+00:002013-08-14T21:18:13.236+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.Making A Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509483023337008890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-22482654974766102472013-08-14T21:15:08.925+00:002013-08-14T21:15:08.925+00:00You need to add in First Place Winner, which is no...You need to add in First Place Winner, which is not the Winner, but the occupier of the first Place after the winner!Bob Ebdonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02706756445971562444noreply@blogger.com
