It may be too much of a pain, but maybe you could require voters to post on a thread in the forum, rank their top 3 (giving them a point value of 3, 2, or 1), and write why they ranked them such. This method may weed out mere popularity votes and also provide the composers with a lot more insight into how their compositions were heard by others. Composers cannot vote for themselves.
I also feel that, in this manner, there has to be at least a final judge in the competition that weighs vote point tally and what is said about the compositions, and I assume that would be you, quintin.
