That's all too complicated. It's going to be fair as long as noone makes new screennames to vote on their piece. But this is pretty obvious to anyone looking at who voted - someone who just joined and has no posts is obviously a fake. It's then up to the moderators to check IP addresses to see who they need to disqualify. I've ran many competitions in the past, and just letting anyone vote, including the participants voting for themselves (which is 100% fair), is fine enough and not complicated at all.
As for anonymity, it really ends up not being as big a deal as you think. Besides, even if some people here are more known than others, people who sign up as judges usually know to be fair and honest anyway. But it's not a big deal.
A point system, with a number correlating to how many public votes a piece got, added to how many points a piece got from the judges, would be good.
