Anon or Not Anon?

Of course there are pros and cons to both types of fests!

Yes, non-anon fests can open up lots of options and freedoms for artists and I know that most artists find it hard to be truly anonymous. However, one of my favorite things about an anonymous fest is the option to have a guessing game at the end of the fest! (See here or here for examples

I originally voted for an anon fest here, but having thought about it, it would be nice not to have to be anon. We're all familiar with each other's styles enough so that anon seems silly in hindsight, though I normally love an anon fest. In this case I wonder if it's needed.

It would be nice to have anon prompts, and for the claiming of prompts to be anon, so that nobody knows what everyone's working on, specifically.

It would be great to post as myself though, and for the surprise to be the prompt, I think.

Sorry for the long-winded explanation!

HI! Thank your for your comment! I appreciate your interest in the fest and I definitely understand everything you've said and your reasoning for it. However, it does looks like the majority are leaning towards anon prompting as well as posting. I hope you will still participate! <3
