I think that option is very clear:

If I wanted to write "orchestra", I'd write "orchestra"
Text, well, yes, you mentioned some posibilities: a poem, a story, text from a movie, or from an instruction manual perhaps, whatever inspires you, and as long as the music has something to do with the text itself
Ok, 50% is a bit too much already, do you think 25% is fine? The public's opinion should always matter anyway, but you're right, not as much as the judges' opinion
No, I don't have a list of judges, thank you for reminding me that... I am open to taking judges, although I won't just accept judges like that (I changed to original post).
About the suggestion, well, I'm trying to stay away from large-scale works for the monthly competitions so as to give equal opportunities to both people who are used to writing for orchestra and people who aren't. If we changed the option to "Orchestrating a piano sonata for any amount of instruments", then yes, I'd add it, and you could do an orchestral version if you wanted. Would you agree with that?
