Anyone else find the design of the voting process hard to deal with? Between the pop-up windows and overlays, I find myself participating way less than in the past. Maybe I'm just too particular about interfaces.
I agree. This contest was planned very poorly.
agreed!
I can't examine all the entries to vote by this method and really dislike pitting two entrants against each other. I missed some of the entries on busy days. Overall, Arno and another entry that featured colorful art and ghost chairs seem like a new direction in cheerful, lighthearted, artistic decorating. Many were beautiful and memorable but those two seem distinctively fresh.
This contest has dragged on waaay too long, it's very cumbersome, and the judges didn't choose very well. I voted once, and that is it. It's actually turned me off of AT and I am visiting less and less frequently. Apparently, they didn't take any reader suggestions from last years contest seriously enough to fix these probelms.
This is my first year on AT and I have to say that seeing all the entries is incredibly inspiring to me. I'm so glad to have found this site!
I hate the style of this year's voting so much I haven't been doing it, but I feel sort of guilty about it the entrants had nothing to do with that, and some of them put real effort into their entries.
