Yesterday, I spent a few hours writing comments and submitted a formal evaluation. However, in the course of writing it, I realized that the criterion by which I evaluate choral works in many cases are simply not attainable by works for single voice, and I was forced to score accordingly. I was simply not able to evaluate anyone's choral writing based on their writing for solo voice. Although I do remember discussing that all vocal works would be considered, I must have missed the part of the thread that forbade judges from penalizing in any way works that are not choral in nature. Alas, I was hoping that actual choral works would be submitted, given the title of the competition, and I realize now that this is no longer a "choral" competition. Due to the amount of entries, the abundance of judges, and the lack of choral works submitted, I will respectfully withdraw from the panel of judges.
Good luck to all who entered.
