Well, Your Excellency...I'll help take some of that heat with the following open
ended question...


     Why aren't the names of the judges for a competition printed ahead of
     time in the event annnouncement?

When you think about it, unfair, subjective judges would quickly get a reputation
for their behavior and have no entries to judge!

 No artist *willingly* subjects their art to this kind of judging.  They are
getting a "pig in a poke" as far as who's judging what.

The artist *should* get a fair shake on a level playing field.  S/He should know
beforehand who will be judging their work.  Secrecy breeds suspicion.
