Should judges always pick a winner? | The Observer

Should judges always pick a winner? | Comment is free | The Observer:

Decades ago I was the judge in a prestigious regional playwriting competition. I refused to pick a winner, not admiring any of the scripts. The sponsors were very unhappy. They appointed a new judge and I was never asked to judge again. In retrospect, I should have thrown the scripts up a staircase, the highest one wins.
