71% in the poll said it is not a photograph and does not deserve to win. No accounting for taste!

But it is TRUE ART and us clueless unwashed peasants can't appreciate or understand it. We are not part of the oh so superior and elite "in crowd".
I mean some of us probably think it is just weird trash.

Yea, right...
About as bad as a print that got caught in an Ektamatic processor winning one contest I saw.
(I must have failed art appreciation 101.)

Yes you are right, but first off you have to be an egotistical narcissist to be a member of the superior and elite "in crowd"

I entered a competition in an art gallery, and there was a group of out of focus shots of blue marshmallow peeps also entered. I told my husband, "Those are going to win something". Sure enough- 1st place. It really is a zoo out there!

I once went to a museum "art" exhibit by some supposedly famous photographer--the entire show consisted of photos of about ten old chairs with a raw pork chop lying on each one. They weren't even composed well, but folks were oohing and aahing.

Photograph something in a glass of urine and get a grant from the NEA. Just don't use a crucifix; it's already been done.

The photography club, I used to belong to, once invited three painting artists to judge one of our photo contests, and the print they picked for first prize, all of us photographers thought that it was a failure.

I seem to remember someone who took a picture of a cross in a jar full of urine then got money from the Endowment for the Arts.
Tom Wolfe's "The Painted Word" helps us lesser beings understand the fraud behind much that passes for "art".
