Last Hot Shot Post

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.
