Marty,
What method of getting your work viewed, in your opinion, does not lend
itself to be open to biases? I think it is impossible to eliminate bias in
the eyes of the viewer (a judge, after all, is just another viewer, albeit
with some power in the context of a competition).

In this case, nobody seems to have read the rules, and apparently the
judges did not check out the primary document (RAW file/negative) for
transgressions either, which seems to be a huge goof up!

Cheers
Jayanand
