Last Hot Shot Post

Yo, if this is your first time stopping by you should think about subscribing to my shit. It's the best on the web fo'rils.RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

The winners of the Spring ‘07 Hot Shot were announced yesterday, and I was thrilled to see I was given an honorable mention. Very encouraging! Take a moment to read about the winners and look at their work, and of course don’t forget to check out the honorable mentions too.

With these competitions, I always wonder what criteria are used to make the decision about the winners. No doubt all the winners are incredibly talented, but I don’t envy the job of the people who have to decide. This obviously isn’t a life and death kind of decision like picking who gets to use the life raft, but I’m sure that it’s something of a tough call. Choosing the best work seems problematic enough without having to worry about making sure all the artists work well together.
