Totally. And it's not redundant at all. If you think about it, the Art of the Year vote becomes even more relevant! If the assumption is that the AotW votes are being affected by a combination of a reduction of voting in general, as well as an increase in the number of options (more prints, more publishers, more events, etc), thus watering down the regular votes, and giving an abnormal advantage to concentrated efforts to vote a single print in. Then you end up with a bunch of prints that only received a couple of votes each that aren't represented at all in the Art of the Week awards, but that ARE able to participate in the Yearly vote, which gets a lot more attention and participation. So it's a chance to rally around the prints that actually deserve it, rather than these FB group stunt prints.
