As far as I understand, one image is eligible for only one price. If,
for example, the first place winner also has, let's say, the highest
technical score, the honorable mention for technical merit is instead
given to the image with the second best technical score (and if that one
already had the second or third place price, the technical merit price
is given to the third best, and so on).

  However, what happens if an image would be equally eligible for more
than one honorable mention price (iow. it has the highest score on more
than one category, but did not win one of the three first prices)? Which
one is chosen?

Here's the approach I'm following:

First, second and third place are awarded based on the average overall 
score.  These three winners are eliminated from consideration for the 
merit awards since they already won.

Of the remaining entries, the highest average technical merit submission 
wins the technical merit award (i.e., add up the total technical merit 
scores for a submission and divide by the number of votes for that 
submission).  The highest average artistic merit submission wins the 
artistic merit award and the highest average conceptual merit submission 
wins the conceptual award.

The awards are assigned as technical first, artistic second and 
conceptual third.  If an entry wins an earlier award it's not eligible 
for winning another award.

Does that sound reasonable?
