True.  But, why not have both?  

We (O-hi-O Stereo Photographic Society) do both.  First we show and 
score each picture.  Then we show each picture again and the judges 
make comments.  ANYONE is welcome to add comments or say their 
opinion, and many do.

The process is so interesting and enjoyable that people who do not
enter in the competitions or do not even take stereo pictures, come
to watch it.
