We will never get away from controversy over competitions.
However, I am delighted that a new format is to be used for the judging of the annual competition. All three judges have widespread respect for their abilities as photographers and perhaps more importantly, as artists. This is a huge step in the right direction. Two additional judges not associated with ukb in any way whatsoever would complete the ideal panel.
I am aware from private conversations that some extremely good photographers who contribute to ukb on other forums dislike the present voting system so much that they no longer enter competitions. Perhaps they might be prepared to submit their masterpieces for the annual competition under the new format.
