The distinguished panel of judges for the 2005 awards has also been announced, with judging of the entries taking place in London from 28 April to 2 May 2005.
Jungmin Lee, an economist at Sogang University in Seoul who has studied Olympic judging, suggests a fix beyond the scoring system: increasing the number of judges.
On Sept. 15 The New York Festivals announced a new judging system, whereby Grand Jury judges are now allowed to flag a suspected scam ad by checking a box when viewing an entry online.
Indeed, the researchers say the best way to avoid judging problems is transparency releasing results that include which judges gave what scores to which athletes.
