How many times in our lives being young have we thought time to let go in this case of a doll symbolizing that we are now growing up and becoming say a woman. Have you ever had that feeling? Time to let go sadly and with a few tears of our childhood to become a woman. This picture has meaning to every woman out there who has let go and on to the future. A little sadness there.

Not all people in and around GR are so negative. I suspect that some of those same thinkers will be the first to scream "fix, fix!" when this great contest is over. If they were handed the sky, they'd complain it was too cloudy. I found the website home page very easy to navigate; it's usually helpful if one is relaxed and takes time to read everything before reacting. I found the voting instructions simple and, with information in hand, I can now browse the venues and concentrate on the entries. This event has evoked a lot of spirit in a lot of people, residents, visitors, artists and non-artists. Thanks to the creator and sponsors for giving us all an opportunity to participate.

I have looked all over this website and don't see the link to do it. Either I'm really stupid or now that the show has started you can only register at one of the sites. Please help!

I totally missed the link on the left when learning how to register/vote and clicked through several pages to find the list on the blog. I recommend having "Register" as a link from any page, as that's your big Call to Action. Also you may wish to have a sentence explaining that the pre-register option (covered on every news outlet and your site) is no longer available as the event has already started. Unless I'm wrong and it is still available - in which case, it's not easy to find on your site. I love the idea and execution of ArtPrize for GR - I'm just critical of websites' User Interface and User Experience. My donation to ArtPrize: UI/UX consulting.

We will be registering at whatever site is closest to the bus stop we get off at. (Luckily there are many to choose from) Unfortunately for the art pieces displayed inside that particular registration site, the first pieces we see will not be receiving their just accolades until later, when more pieces are seen. (I'm not going to just throw a thumbs-up to every piece I see, I plan on giving half of the pieces thumbs up and half nothing) By the time the week is over the pieces viewed at the registration venue will be hardly considerable, unless they make an incredible impact. I am a big boy. I can split the entries into 3 or 4 days and 3 or 4 planned routes, logistically sound. Good Luck to all! The wife and I plan to spend the day walking tomorrow.
