any text document and one of us would run a word count on it Right, so ensuring that one of the judges has MS word or similar software, we could copy the text, paste it into word and do the word count. That'd work. speaking of which: who would be the judges?

Oh, and another thing, I suggest a judging panel of at least three people, just to reduce any element of bias.

Agreed... And can't you run a word count check at home on Word/etc. before you post it on here?

you can but so everyone will be sure you've been fair. And... I don't know if my OO has a word counter. We should try and do further planning and see who wants to be a jury in this.

Yeah, true. But we could post our counts if we check on another computer.
Yeah.. the judges would have to be people who probably wouldn't enter ever... just to make sure they're all the same.

Right, do we need both a panel of judges and a jury? With me it's either one or the other. And yes, I agree that the judges should be people who can be certified not to take part.

Well, a jury would have to be either in poll form or PM the judge form.
Whereas a panel would be just three people who would, probably, spend more time figuring out which story deserves the prize.
