EVEN BEFORE THE G4M-LMS CYCLE 2 STARTED, GLAMWORX PRODUCTIONS HAD BEEN INDIRECTLY QUESTIONED AND LAMBASTED ABOUT THE INVOLVEMENT OF THE SAME IN THIS COMPETITION. WE ALSO RECEIVED A DIRECT COMMENT THAT THEY ARE EXPECTING TO BE CHEATED DURING THIS CYCLE. WE KNOW FOR A FACT THAT WE STILL HAVE TO EARN THE TRUST OF EVERYONE WHO SUPPORTS THIS COMPETITION.
AS WE’VE SAID BEFORE AND MORE SO EVEN NOW, WE ARE HERE TO HELP OUT THE ORIGINAL FOUNDERS OF THIS COMPETITION AND TO MAKE SURE THAT NO PARTIALITY OR FAVORITISM BE GRANTED TO ANY FINALIST. IN FACT, WE HAVE BEEN VERY ACCOMODATING TO EVERYONE’S CONCERNS JUST FOR US NOT TO BE ACCUSED OF DOING SUCH. WE ALSO GRACIOUSLY OFFERED OUR SERVICES FOR FREE JUST TO GET THE MODELS SOME PRIZES IN ORDER FOR THEM TO HAVE AN INCENTIVE TO COME UP WITH FANTASTIC AND WORTHY SHOTS.
YES, THE MODELS HAVE A RIGHT TO COMPLAIN AND WE ARE NOT BANNING YOU GUYS TO EXERCISE THAT RIGHT. WE EVEN ENCOURAGED THE MODELS WHO ALREADY FINISHED DOING THEIR PHOTO SHOOTS TO SEND US THEIR NOTES/MESSAGES TOGETHER WITH THEIR ENTRIES ASAP AND IT WILL BE NOTED.
AS FOR THE STATEMENT THAT “NOT EVERYONE COULD’VE UNDERSTOOD THE NOTES FOR THE FIRST ROUND”, WELL, THAT IS THE REASON WHY THE CLARIFICATION WAS POSTED AND ISSUED. BUT HOW COME THE OTHERS COMPLETELY HAVE NO PROBLEMS ABOUT IT?
PLEASE BEAR IN MIND ALSO THAT WE HAVE RELEASED THE THEMES FOR ROUNDS 1 & 2 EVEN AHEAD OF THE TIME WE WERE SUPPOSED TO RELEASE THEM (JUST LIKE THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF JUDGES AND FINALISTS). WE ALSO ACCOMODATED THE REQUEST OF THE FINALISTS AND THEIR TEAMS TO MOVE THE SUBMISSION OF THE ENTRIES TO A WEEKDAY FOR THEM TO USE THE WEEKENDS AS THEIR SHOOT DAY (SUBMISSION OF ENTRIES WAS MOVED TO THURSDAY 8PM DEADLINE). WE ALSO INTRODUCED GRAPHICS TO MAKE THE COMPETITION VISUALLY INTERESTING IN THE BLOGSITE. EVEN MAKING THEM DURING OUR REST TIME JUST TO ENSURE THE VIEWERS/SUPPORTERS WILL BE VISUALLY DELIGHTED.
WE KNOW THAT THIS IS NOT A PHOTOGRAPHY CONTEST AND ADHERENCE TO THE THEME MAY NOT BE IMPORTANT TO MOST OF THE FINALISTS, BUT WHAT IS THERE TO JUDGE IF NOT FOR THE THEMES BEING PRESENTED? ARE THEY SUPPOSED TO BE JUDGED BY JUST THE WAY THEY LOOK AND PROJECT IN THE PICTURE? HOW CAN THEY DO THAT WITHOUT GIVING REFERENCE AND IMPORTANCE TO THE THEME ITSELF? IF THAT’S THE CASE, THEN WE SHOULD HAVE REMOVED THE WHOLE THEME ALTOGETHER.
AS FOR THE STATEMENT – “WE HAVE TO COPY FROM EXISTING CAMPAIGNS” … WE STATED THAT “THE PHOTO MUST RECREATE A HIGH-FASHION LAY-OUT USING ONLY RECYCLABLE ITEMS FOR THE OUTFIT”, AND JUST ADDED THAT FINALISTS MUST SUBMIT THEIR REFERENCE (ORIGINAL LAY-OUT) SO THAT THE JUDGES WILL HAVE A BASIS ON THE SHOT BEING SUBMITTED. (PLEASE SEE OUR PREVIOUS STATEMENT ON THIS AT THE BLOGSITE). BESIDES, ROUND 1 IS NOT THE WHOLE COMPETITION.
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THE FINALISTS HAVE A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING AS TO WHAT THEY WILL BE COMPETING FOR. THE ORGANIZERS ARE ALWAYS AVAILABLE FOR ANY CLARIFICATION. AS STATED BEFORE, WE WILL BE PROVIDING UTMOST SUPPORT TO ALL FINALISTS TO ENSURE THE COMPETITION WILL BE SMOOTH SAILING. IF THE THEME IS NOT CLEAR TO ANY FINALIST, THEN THEY SHOULD PROACTIVELY CLARIFIED IT WITH THE ORGANIZERS.
COMPETITIONS SUCH AS THIS WILL BE VERY CHALLENGING FOR EVERYONE INVOLVED. IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THE FINALISTS ARE WELL ROUNDED FOR THEM TO STAND A CHANCE AGAINST OTHER CONTESTANTS. THIS COMPETITION REQUIRES DEDICATION FOR THEM TO BE SUCCESSFUL.
CONTESTANTS SHOULDN’T SECOND-GUESS THEMSELVES IN SUBMITTING THEIR ENTRIES. GLAMWORX WILL CONTINUE TO UPHOLD FAIRNESS IN THE ENTIRE COMPETITION AND TO ALL FINALISTS WHO ARE WILLING TO TAKE ON THE CHALLENGE. BE REST ASSURED THAT THE END RESULT WILL BE WORTHWHILE.
