Building competition suggestions

Hi, it's me Mieshoa! (Mario shoutout) anyways, today I would like to start a discussion about building competitions. Building competitions are really fun but some restricted/inexistent features may make it unfair for some players (or maybe it's just me, I don't know). I also love building competition as it also shows how well we can build and how much potential we could possibly have building in the future! Anyway I will talk about features that may revolutionise future and present building competitions and may make it fairer for some players. Keep in mine these are some suggestions and not mandatory!
Speeches
What the hell is speeches you may ask? Speeches are the opportunities for players to talk about the special features in their build making them unique to all the others. It's sought of like in elections, when presidents/pms talk about why they should be elected. As far as I'm aware, voting is a poll on the forums accompanied by a picture which the contestants have made. But there's a problem, when there is only a picture people judge. By judging I mean they look at the pictures, compare them and choose which one is the best rather than checking out the actual build. By giving the opportunity for other players to highlight what features they have in their building would be fair. It's not just exterior! However, there would be a few guidelines to the speeches:
1) No more than 300 words - A, no one is gonna read a massive waffling speech about their build... Neither are they gonna read the whole of this... Maybe...
B, it would give another player a large advantage if their's was more informative.
2) No comparing to others - By this I mean yes you can say mine is unique to all the others as blah blah blah, but you can't say stuff that is picking out individual or collective builds and saying negative things about them e.g. HAVE YOU SEEN NEBBERS WALL DESIGNS?!?! TALK ABOUT UGLY
Also I think they should be able to include their own screenshots but no more than 5.
Tell me what you think of this below!
