um...
Would my age sway the judges in any way? (13)
Stupid Question, maybe - but I wanted at least you'se to know, just cause it's hard trying to be as good as you guys (and to help my score lol :-)
No, I seriously doubt your age would give you a better chance. If you don't think you're up to the standard, it's up to you to practice and improve so that you can get amongst the ranks through sheer hard work, rather than through age handicaps. Some (I should say "most") of the people in this competition worked damn hard on their submissions. If a younger user won because of their age, I'd be annoyed, as the people that deserve to win are the people that put the time and effort into their work to create a high quality submission. And it's not like we're competing for mere titles, it's real prizes, real cash, and so the winners need to earn those prizes. Just keep working at it, and you'll get some experience behind you, and you'll find that age has nothing to do with it. I don't mean to sound like I'm attacking you personally, but I hope you see where I'm coming from.
Good luck with the contest. ;D
