You might as well just get rid of the “1 Hour” part of these contests if you aren’t even going to enforce your own estimates. I think it’d make the contests more even anyway, since it seems some people always seem to achieve a remarkable amount of work in only one hour.
This was a tough call. Given that this competition is based on an honor system, we wanted to give the designer the benefit of the doubt. Similarly, we wanted to present the guest judges’ comments (and concerns) unedited. Thanks again to everyone who participated.
