Take Screen Shots of the builds, Entry. Etc. Then post it on forums and then Poll for Each Contestants to get votes.
EZ and effective.

But I do think that there should be more than just one judge. Maybe Space could get some people that don't join these contests to judge with him?
1. Players can vote with alts
2. Players who are more popular will win instead of those who have better builds
3. Players can pay others to vote for them
It would become a popularity contest full of bribes and possibly even threats (e.g., if you vote for me I give you an item, if you vote for someone else I will not be your friend anymore.)
Way too much drama and a rather inefficient system.
Space isn't the only judge, anyways.
I guess if you were given a chance to judge, you won't be biased. But that's not the case of everyone, even you, or mods..
Maybe have something like: Judges' favorite (or split between Dev Favorite and a Mod Favorite), Players' Favorite, Best Tall Build (more than 50 blocks high), Best Medium Build (20-50 blocks high), Best Small Build (less than 20 blocks high), Best Build With Seasonal Pack Decorations, Best Pixel Build, Best Block Only Build, Best Story with Build...etc. The categories could change with each contest and even be silly - Spring builds could have the best use of bunnies, Halloween could have the scariest build, Christmas could have the best Christmas spirit.
I think having some categories would give players more options to shoot for during the building contests as they try to qualify for certain categories (and some categories need to be exclusive), and provides some guidelines to the builds rather than the current random choices and all or nothing by the judges.
I'd like to see a way for newer players to feel like they have a chance to win without having to purchase a ton of deco items, but doing a category based on player levels would probably have some people using their lower level alts to win. And some players may be new, but higher levels because they mine and build a lot.
I play another game where they allow one of the prizes to be chosen by the player community, but the other three are chosen by the devs. So, even if the player chosen category is biased or ends up being cheated in some way, there are still three other chances to win. BTW, in that game, the player favorite prize is less than the top three dev prizes.
Popular players would win time after time
New unknown builders wouldnt stand a chance if you let the community vote
With all due respect i am sorry too say i despise this idea

The actual team ot judges is made out of moderators and developers. It's good enough.
