LW1363 - Competitive Artmaking

So much of culture today is based on competitive posturing. I've never been comfortable with competition in artmaking. Yes, competition may motivate us to strive for better results, but that's not the problem as I see it. The problem is that in order for competition to be fair, there need to be rules that must be followed, and judges that must enforce the rules — both of which are antithetical to creativity.
