Ok ... but .. it's not a photography, it shouldn't win a "photography" contest

If you bring a photography to a "realistic painting" contest does it work ? Or an helicopter to a f1 race ?

It's not the same medium, it doesn't matter if it looks good or if people like it

I agree, but contests within the context of art are absurd. They're as surreal as the music charts where because boy band x sells y units, that somehow makes them "better" than z obscure artist making microtonal music that's never been heard before. The charts are a measure of commercial success.

A contest is a measure of what? The taste of the judges?
