Submitters+ judges are accepted voters (except for own submission of 
course). A system should be in place to avoid multiple voting (not sure how 
to do that)
Non-entrants should also be able to vote, again with security in place to 
avoid multiple voting.
I am not sure if e-mail confirmation would be enough...

yes, except their own submission.

Overall could be the Wow factor mentioned elsewhere. Technical merit is 
always a difficult category to rate. How does one define that really?

Yes, much better I believe than from 0 to 20.

No. I would discourage partial voting.
