- Good question! At the moment RiscMan was gonna judge
- the competition... but seeing as he will be an entrant, it might
- be wise to choose someone else. One way would be to throw
- the voting open to interested *.sys.acorn readers - another
- possibility would be for each participant to vote for all the
- other entries. Any suggestions from you folks out there?

- Yes... well I tend to think its best for the judges to
- decide what criteria they are basing marking on. In the amiga scene
- it is fairly traditional to mark on style and coding flair. You
- see visually impressive code - but technically trivial code, will score
- highly when it is original, but score nothing if the technique has
- been reduced to cliche status. Similarly highly technical code, which
- looks/feels bad - scores lowly. Anyway the best way to avoid losing marks
- because you aim your techniques incorrectly - is to provide a nice mixture
- of routines and techniques in your demo.
