I like the idea of highlighting and promoting very good VJs, but the magazine really doesn’t reflects the quality and diversity of our scene, and has quite strange rules:

In 2004, for the first VJ Poll, winners AddictiveTV (1st position), Coldcut (5th), Exceeda (10th), D-fuse (12th), Charles Kriel (14th) were also judges for the competition, while VJ Anyone (9th position) was working for the magazine (no blame to them, I just don’t understand how the magazine could allow that).

Since then, the results didn’t change much, even when people started to vote online (this generated loads of myspace spam and other “VOTE FOR ME” emails non-senses) and for a strange reason, many of the TOP 20 names are not even VJs but Audiovisual Acts.
Since 2004, ”live visuals” evolved quicker than ever, and most of the best new VJs remains ignored by the Londonian magazine, so it might be time to create an independent competition, based on actual quality of work, selected by people deeply involved in the visual scene.

Before that, I feel a bit bored by people spamming stuff everywhere, so I decided to do my own advert..

Feel free to use them as well if Vjs flood you with their promo, you can post that back
Here’s the code you can use:
