I would suggest to make 1st, 2nd and 3rd awards automatic, based on a
single note for each image/voter, and use a small jury (3 or 4 people) 
to award the T-A-C mentions.

The "cross-contamination" "problem" has been discussed so many times
over the years, and
1) there's no solution
2) it tends to show that the TAC separation is pretty artificial

There is no "granularity" to be gained from TAC, so, going for simple
and efficient seems the best to me.

Sorry, I thought it was obvious that I was suggesting a single note.
Hope I've been clearer now.

Fabien.
