When I was the creative director of Maclean's Magazine, I sat on many of these judging committees, the answer is simple; all these publications are subscriber members of these hosting organizations. In other words they have a stake or vested interest. The judges, just as in the design or advertising industry are made up of members of their respective fields. You must accept that there will be a reasonable amount of bias among journalists, art directors and editors. Hope this helps
