you made me laugh, and as a constant participant in these contests I also sat up!

To answer the question:
We divulge the names of the artists for the winning 3 photos all the time, sometimes the host/hostess decides to divulge the names of the top ten who got into the finals.

If you want to see who entered what you can go to the photo forum and find the submission thread, the names are right there for all to see.

Except sometimes, when we run a blind contest, when nobody but the host or hostess knows the names til the very end.
We do not often run blind contests, they are a whole lot of work for the person in charge, who is also the one who decides whether to do it or not.

Maybe too much information, but I just felt like typing.
