    It would have been helpful (and fairer) had everyone who entered commented and scored on all other entries. Based on potential comments "the parachute jump" should probably have scored way better. Maybe it should be a rule?

      Yes I agree

      I have no idea where our old aussie spirit has gone. Not enough entries, although I loved the ones we did get. Not enough people scoring. No point inmyself and a couple of others funding new contests if no-one supports them. I appreciate you mentioning this. I hope the message gets across.
