[MR] A little more on competitions

[Gwen]

Why not just offer a choice?  A person can enter their item into a
competition or they can enter it with a DISPLAY ONLY ticket.  Most events
that I have seen offering the display only option have also offered a sheet
that judges and others can jot down their thoughts on what they think.  A
person wouldnt have to use the sheet of course, and could just show the
item.  That would cover everyone's needs?

All of the comments I'm reading just serve to re-inforce my desire to not
have competitions. People are always hurt/offended. Perhaps a more gentle
thing is to have display with comments. Granted, those who enter
competitions for the sole purpose of wanting the accolade of an award will
feel slighted, but display with commentary will help to put all on an even
footing with no sniping that I should have won the prize when someone else
did-for what ever reason the other person won. Granted, I am also strongly
in favor of tactful, informative commentary.
