This is what i thought too.

"the first 3 positions should always be the highest quality pieces, position 4 equally good, but maybe not as original. 5 & 6 good quality, but maybe lacking originality, or in some other aspects.
The last one should be the place for people that are trying hard, but the art is not as good as the rest"

"Was this artist listed before? (How often? Maybe it's time to give a chance to someone else"
