*nod nod* it's true that a best in show winner is usually the winner of its category which can seem rather redundant, however i refuse to give the category winner over to the second place winner.Scintilla wrote:I can't speak for the previous coordinators; but as for myself, if you have audience-voted category awards and an audience-voted Best In Show as well, it just seems redundant. I say that because, in all my years of paying attention to these contests, I have only ever heard of one contest having such a setup where the Best In Show winner was not a comedy (unfortunately I don't remember which one, but I'm pretty sure the winning video in that case was a drama).
AX determines the best in show more strategically. it all has to do with percentages - votes by judges, audience and creators.
