: The only score this /should/ lower is technical

  I have noticed the cross-contamination of judging categories in the IRTC
long time ago, tried to express my views (and most people agreed) and tried
to think about solutions, but there seems to be none feasible.

  The term "cross-contamination of judging categories" I use here means that
when people vote, they do not consider (consciously or subconsciously)
different categories as completely independent, but an extremely high or
low score in one category will inevitably affect the other categories as
well.
  For example, if an image looks like crap, it will get a very low score
in _all_ categories, no matter if it is, for example, extremely original
and its concept is excellent. In the same way, if the image looks just
astonishing, it will get a high score in all categories although it may
be completely banal, without anything special and new.

  This is unfair, of course, but as I said, there's no feasible solution
to this.

  (The best solution I have come with is that judges have to comment on
each score and say why they scored in that category that way; however, this
may not work as people will probably just comment something meaningless or
just leave it blank...)
