Steve -- I think your analogy is an excellent one. The principles are
quite the same. However, you have also mentioned a very interesting idea
that just might lend some support to Ian's thinking, i.e., the "People's
Choice Award":


Santa Fe Iris Society always has a "People's Choice Award", both for the 
horticultural division and the artistic division.  We always somehow end up 
with too many trophies donated , so the more trophiable classes we can have, 
the better.  And it's fascinating to see that the People's Choice is never the 
one that wins Queen of Show (oh, I'm sorry, we don't do Queen of Show anymore; 
we do Best Specimen of Show).  I think it's great!
