What do I need to improve in my artwork to increase my chances of winning the next contest?

In full disclosure, I didn't vote for any submissions and overall did not play any role in deciding the winners. I don't feel like it would be fair for me to do so, since it's my job to help operate the event and allow the community to decide.

As a result, I can't offer any advice here since I want it to be fully in the hands of the community to decide each art contest's winner. Furthermore, there are no grading criteria or any other attempts at objective measurement: it's all up to each community member's subjective viewpoint, who chooses to participate in the poll.

In general, I would say for everyone to just continue participating if you find enjoyment in the process of doing so. Likely, the more someone participates the higher their chance of winning at some point.
