I agree with Jeanette on the above. Don't post critiques or comments on the submissions until the voting is over.

People post in the lyric boards when they want feedback. People posted in the awards because they wanted to compete. If they'd like feedback, they can repost in the lyric boards when the contest is over.

Given that there are over 500 submissions, I could see some very credible lyrics (like some of the 37 that made my "short" list) ending up getting minimal to no votes. After all, only a little more than 10% of the lyrics I really like will get any points from me. It might be worthwhile to know what the top 10% were but actually knowing the scores of all 535 submissions would give the wrong feedback to some great lyrics.

A little mathematical analysis - with over 500 entries and only selecting the top 5, there's less than a 1% chance that an individual is going to vote for you. If you assume 500 people vote properly (15 points each) and half of those are in general agreement on the top 10%, the average score for the top 54 submissions would be 70+ points, while the remaining 481 of us would have an average score of 7 points. For each one of those that scores 15, someone else gets a 0. All of which means 90% of the participants will be depressed to know their score. Keep it confidential.
