What an ingenious idea!
It'd be cool if non-auto upvotes were a part of the judging base, with the upvote of 1st-place winners getting a small percentage more. It's all in the details, and these are merely suggestions.
Congrats on becoming my 61st follow!
Best regards!
Peace.
Yes, there will be some adjustments made to reflect a fairer judging process for contests. Thanks for your feedback. Definitely looking at rearranging @vocalists-trail's layout and changing things up. There will be a chance for serious people to not only take part in contests but to apply or try out in becoming an affiliate, sponsor or judge for specific events and contests!
Getting a small team of reliable, and like-minded people working on specific elements, and pulling it all together, will be helpful for success.
Peace.
