I heard that two of the judges are actually directors of the same company! Even if they were out of the room for categories they were in themselves that still makes the panel completely biased and there were some categories where several judges entered and won.
Despite having a few reservations I was considering joining the BIPP before this but will definitely not be now.

Disgrace is the word I would use too. Richard Mayfield who won 9 awards and Photographer of the Year was one of the judges...
