You make a great point, and I agree with you. Everyone, including judges have a preferenace to one scaping style over another. It seems to me judging is very subjective. I guess there is no way around that besides following some of the guidelines that Anti-Pjerrot pointed out. My concern would be judge would favor nature style aquariums over Dutch tanks because that's what is trendy and is heavily produced by aquascapers from all over.
I'm in the belief that these two styles can't really compare with each other, and shouldn't be compared as such. It's like comparing Rock music to Pop music. They have two separate judging categories. As far as I know, most aquascaping contests don't have entry classifications based on style.
