  If Gilles or Jaime participated in the competition, I'm certain that
at least some voters could have at least a bit of bias towards their
entries if they were not anonymous.

  I wasn't actually trying to say that posting WIPs should be banned.
I just wanted to discuss about this. Is this a compo where completely
original personal work is submitted, or is it ok to get help from the
public? Is it fair that some people get optimization tips from people
while others just create their work entirely by themselves? Is it fair
that some people show their work in advance before the judging even
begins, while others don't?

  As for the anonymity breach, naturally nothing would stop eg. me from
posting here, before judging begins, something like "hey, I was the one
who made the image such and such, vote for me". However, I don't think
too many people would appreciate that.

  But of course if the majority of participants think that it's completely
ok to post WIPs, then I suppose I'll have to submit to that.
