What Flaptail suggest sounds very reasonable. Perhaps we might even be able to get a celebrity judge to come to the event. But I think public input is very important also.
So maybe the judge panel decides on categories like best classic, rookie builder, and what ever and the public can vote on things like best wall hanger, most likely to catch a cow on first cast, coolest plug(maybe a new category?) , etc.
And plugs entered in panel judging categories should not be excluded from the open public voting categories. You could do this by putting all plugs on a table not divided into any categories. The judges would get ballots that identify the tag number of the plug entered into the special categories. The public just gets ballots that have them pick best wall hanger, coolest plug, etc. from the entire pool of plugs.
Just an idea that lends a critical eye to the detail stuff but also keeps the public involved.
