Well, yeah, ultimately it comes down to that. :-)

The thought regarding using the ICA-style scoring is that you add up each 
judge's scores for each category and then get an overall score that's 
used for the final result.  That gives a chance (not a big one, but a 
chance) that someone who isn't artistically competent a shot at winning 
based on their concept and technical aspects.

That also makes it less clear who the winner is likely to be just based 
on looking at the image.
