Ok is anyone else dying to know what the “changes” are that are coming to critique arena? They started to hint at something during announcements and then left us hanging. It’s killing me! Hahaha 
please tell me I’m not the only one!
@Asyas_illos you are definitely not alone! I can't wait to see what it is and how it's going to work. I noticed there's still no prompt for October
@AngelinaKizz oh I hadn’t looked yet, I’m super excited it’s my favorite month!
@Asyas_illos I’m guessing they still pick the Top 16 based off the art, but then they lock us in a room and the contestants actually fight it out.
Mad Max: Thunderdome is Jake Parker’s favorite movie after all (I’m guessing).
@Asyas_illos Maybe we can use this thread to suggest ideas, like bringing back more quick critiques for the submissions that don't make the top 16. I appreciate more teachable moments.
@KevinTreaccar haha prepare to feel my wrath!
@Johanna-Kim yes or honorable mentions can get a lightening round to make it in?
@Johanna-Kim yes! I feel like it's hard to grow without a bit more critique! And I want so badly to grow!
@KevinTreaccar or hunger games! Last illustrator standing!
@AngelinaKizz Ooh yes! May the odds be ever in your favor!
@KevinTreaccar yeah I recall talking about this during critique arena a few months ago. It seems to me to be the most fair and fun way to do it
You guys are cracking me up! 
I'm dying to know too though. I'm hoping maybe adding something to help those who don't make it into critique arena...like critiques for the worst 5 or something? Sounds harsh, but it would be so helpful and really help people to grow!
Maybe they’re going to bring in actual art directors to judge… like a “who would you hire” situation. 
@Pamela-Fraley yikes scary!
I think it’d be really cool to let us students come up with prompt ideas once in a while!
@Asyas_illos We are changing it to just an hour of will, Jake, and I making fun of each other. There is too much to say and not enough time so the art had to go! Sorry! Lol!
