I am still new to this forum and haven't had a chance to participate in a Bloodsport yet, which I hope to remedy very very soon. Generating new work and the potential exposure is quite intriguing.
I understand how newer artist could be discouraged when having their work compared to more experienced entries. I am of the opinion that it is good for people to be judged by the same standards so that they can improve. Of course that is all up to the individuals drive to develop themselves further.
My suggestion: Keep everyone together, but require a "years of experience" bit. Then it would be possible to let everyone be compared to one standard but take into account experience and maybe block them off in groups.
For example, 0-3 years is junior, 3-5 is experienced, 5+ veteran. Or whatever classifications you want to give. This would also let everyone learn how many years are valued at what.
