I disagree, and I think I have stated before that this will not be an anonymous competition. While what you're saying does make sense, I don't think it's necessary, and also I don't believe we could ever pull one off that's en
tirely anonymous, so why try? It's also harder to organize it that way. I've tried to do it in the past, and people send me audio files and .mus files with their name all over it... It can be a hassle.
I also believe that the styles of music people write in here are so different that it will be hard for the judges not to try to figure out who's piece is who's. I have found that there can be an urge to figure out who goes with what piece, and that in itself, rather than a clear answer of who's piece is what (without anonymity), can lead to difference in judging rather than what you might think. People aren't really so prejudice against one another as you might think.
