When Germaniae asked if I would be interested in being a judge, I immediately took myself off of being a candidate for the contest. Obviously a person shouldn't be both. If the gods or scribes decide that it would be more appropriate that I'm not a judge (which won't offend me, by the way), I'll probably become a candidate. I'm open to suggestions though hopefully we won't waste our time on this board with too many posts. I think Vort would make a great judge for any occasion. Look at his wife, obviously he has good taste.
