Since Max wants to be a stick in the mud:

"I feel that Graphic Art should be its own category/contest. Why? Because to simply categorize it with drawing in one big lump is just wrong. Doing banners, animations, wallpapers, and the like just isn't the same as putting pen/pencil to paper, or stylus to tablet. These are two very different art styles that need to be separated because a person who is good at banners may not have a tablet to digitally draw something. Someone who likes to mess with random brushes on Photoshop may not be skilled enough to paint on a canvas. There is no level of fairness to those who can do one thing, and not another. If the theme one day was: 'Draw a Digital image of a monkey in a tree,' people without a tablet would try to draw with their mouse, and it'd fail miserably. This is why I feel it's necessary to separate the two, so that Traditional and Digital artists could do their things, and the Graphic designers could do theirs."
