I have checked the entry. The text "www.inkscape.org" needs to be converted to a Path. It would be useful to have the Text (not converted version) on a hidden layer. In case we need to edit the design in the future. You might want to add your Name, signature or online handle to the design?
Could you tell us a bit about your thought process, how did you come up with this design etc...?
Please make the edits and re-upload. Many thanks Tim.
I would love for this to win, and I hope it rakes in many votes. However, I'm afraid that certain ("flashier"? "crowd-favorite"?) entries will cause a kind of bias for this election.
When future contests are held, imagine having MORE THAN A SINGLE VOTE to spend! Maybe if you could vote for 4 or 5 entries, perhaps with a sequential-preference-grade (Rank#1 = most favorite; Rank#2 = next favorite; etc), then it could paint (no, not paint! -- we DRAW here in vectorland) a more honest picture for how the "seemingly-less-popular" entry ACTUALLY performs.
It might be the only way for some entries to have a more honest and well-earned chance of succeeding. And rightfully so, because here's an example: Let's say that a "popular" image takes a whopping 40% of the vote as Rank#1. However, a quieter entry scores quite well with 65% voting it as Rank#4.
Those kinds of numbers give a better breakdown/overview of how pieces are actually received by viewers, and it gives the underdog an actual, well-deserved shot at being a contender.
Otherwise, in a “Winner-Takes-All” ruling, some of those "actually-favored" pieces will slip through cracks, perhaps snagging only a handful of votes (when truthfully, it actually had a support-base of 65%)!
