On Not Getting The First Prize

It was unfair and biased - the last year's competition,
Our children draw to win trophies, not for art's sake or fun.
We're not allowed to help while drawing, the organizers are strict,
When our child doesn't get the prize, it's our right to feel tricked.
 
Let's impeach the judges, and the organizers who selected them,
Partiality will demotivate children, it's a crime we need to early stem.
They'll be scarred for life, this time let's ensure there's no bias,
Let AI be the judge to make sure, only deserving reach the dais.
 
I've a better idea still, scan the pictures and upload,
Create a secure voting system, and for voting people goad.
Let the residents be the judge, the jury, the executioner,
Lobby hard to get your child votes, let democracy choose the winner.

The organizers and the judges work hard, who are we to question their integrity,
Art judgements are always subjective, even if you don't agree, show some dignity.
