It was new for me to participate in this
Bitcoin Pizza bake-off contest and I really got a lot of fun from both the process and the result (my taste buds won't lie

). Even now, watching the culinary "works" of others and waiting for the results of the judge's decision. It seems to me that this contest is more of a "beauty" contest, where the "face" of the pizza is judged, and not the "rich inner world" of it, which is traditionally judged at culinary contests (although external indicators are also judged there). In view of the format of the competition, it is almost impossible to evaluate the results of participants in terms of taste, therefore, it remains to choose the winner only in appearance. So I'm curious, by what criterion will judges be selected? What do you think about this?
Based on the experience of several hundreds of pizzas, my expertise is that you can visually tell the good pizzas from the bad ones. Of course tasting would add a lot to the accuracy of the process, but I guess it is almost impossible for obvious reasons.
Wow. I can't wait to hear your opinion on which of the pizzas proposed by the contestants, based on your rich experience with pizzas, can be the best. Of course, your choice will in no way be related to the results of the bake-off contest and should not affect the voting in any way, but will have a subjective nature of evaluation. I'm just curious because I don't have that gift to evaluate it like that.
Maybe having a picture of a slice of the pizza to judge the dough could be a nice addition to next year’s contest. There is a good numbers of improvement that could be suggested to improve the contest.
I like your option to expand the conditions the competition with an additional photo of a slice of the pizza for the test score. This requirement can only benefit the contest.
Why don't you (and anyone who wants to) voice these improvement options? Changes could be discussed and maybe the best of them will be adopted.
