Random rant*
Taking part in the competition is good and all and people would say it's for the exposure and it only for that winning second or no one cares or at least we did our best. But winning is something maybe the others do not care but you do and if you win. It kinda validates your work even when you have full confidence winning would give you the extra boost in whatever you are interested in. And for the argument that it for that one second and then everyone would forget, no you would never forget the moment when your name is getting called up for the award, it will be so rewarding for you or anyone for that matter. It would literary make all the losses in the past worth it. So what I am saying is that taking part for winning is not bad it's good, it gives you a new competitive spirit.
So now thank you for reading this rant.
