An 'Artist Statement' would be very beneficial. My concern is that since this isn't part of the regular time tested rules I'd hate to force people to do something they are uncomfortable with or something they aren't sure how to do.

A confession. I had thought about eliminating the preliminary voting. I would pick out the 10 photos that go into the finals. But then I had this vision of pitchforks and torches.
