Yeah, sorry, sometimes I just generalize glowsticking and liquiding under one title. :P

As for the judging, those are not art forms. They're a culmination of different maneuvers, etc. glowsticking is interpretation of the music more than anything. It's easy to judge a piano recital. You're playing a song that's already been written. If you don't play it properly, then you're playing it wrong. You're not glowsticking something that's already been written. For the most part, it's improvised. That's pure beauty. I find there's a huge difference between glowsticking and other art forms. As for art shows, it's completely subjective judging. I don't think subjective judging is fair. :: shrugs :: That's just my oppinion, though. I hate competing. I don't want to compete for who's better at glowsticking. I just want to glowstick with a whole bunch of people.

Art can't be TRUELY judged. Like I said, it's all subjective. Subjective judging and marking is wrong and bad as far as I'm concerned. That's why I refused to take the "creative writing" class for my 12th grade english credit, even though the teachers urged me to. I didn't want some witless twit judging my writing, when I do my writing for myself and for other people to enjoy, not for someone to take it apart and tell me I meant something different than I did, or didn't write what I wrote properly, when I felt it had to be written that specific way for a reason... but yeah, I'm rambling, because I've had about just shy of 15 cups of coffee already thismorning, and I'm just LOADED with energy. ZZzzzzzzzziiiinnng!!! WAAAHOOOOOOOO!!!

So thanks for listening to my rambling, d00ds and d00dettes!!
