The best overall has always been the 'fan favorite', so the best of each category by the audience is the best way. Perhaps the judgest awards can be then voted on by the audience and a different overall award could be given from the judge's awards but I don't know what it would be called. Maybe the judges could choose it, but I don't know.

If you are going to have certain categories, make sure you have them and dont invent new ones because you feel like it.
If you say you are going to have prizes, then have prizes. If you award trophies and promise to post them, then post them. Don't make empty promises.
Basically do everything as advertised - that's all I'd want... no special treatment just DO THINGS RIGHT.

I think a better modification of this rule, and something that I have wanted to see for quit some time, is making the rules so that the winner is selected, and then removed from competition in any of the other categories. That way there would be 3-4 winners of the sub categories, and one seperate overall winner.
