I would not mind that; art should IMHO be a part of the lives of most LWers. But was I mistaken in believing that the only people with a chance to win this prize are professional artists?
People deserve to know that the prize exists, whether they are professional artists or not.
IMHO, the stress inflicted upon artistically-inclined LWers by the implied hostility in your first comment outweighs whatever benefit you could counterfactually have gotten out of the ten seconds you “wasted” reading this post, and probably also any benefit that may have accrued from a reduction in such artist-related posts in the future in accordance with your expressed desire.
Or, in other words: indeed you should not be such a grump.
Maybe I should not be such a grump, but I believe this post does not belong here since there are so few artists here.
(The harm of a post like this comes from wasting a little of the time of many non-artists.)
