ok my thoughts on this are conflicted. i tend to usually make my chops one day in advance for me not knowing that it was gonna be anonymous today w/ out a prize i wouldn't have entered.
Hence the need for a graphic symbol/icon (question mark) to distinguish a regular contest from an anonymous contest. This will appear on the Advantage calendar and on the front page. See a few posts above.

my reasons for this is i like psc for the fact i can get to see what my favorite choppers have done also i like to read the comments that have been left on peoples art. its what makes psc fun for me and seperates this from them other sites. i also like to watch and root for my favorite chops and see how they are racing against the others.
Which you can still do in the remaining 5-6 regular contests every week

when its taken away whats the point of even leaving nice comments when no one can see them.
Different types of contests will pose different challenges.

also whats the point of having advantage when the new guys can't see the source for an anonymous comp until the day its released.
There is something wrong with this sentence. The point of having advantage is to see the source in advance. The new guys can't see the source for any (regular and anon/prize) contest until it opens.

on anonymous comps i have to sit there and wait tell everyone mainly the new guys can get their entries in. so as a result i don't log in as much until the 3rd day to place my votes.
Good for you. This seems to be the right approach for anonymous/prize contests.

so i might have a solution. for those that like psc the way it is it could run the same but have an addition added to the site w/ its own seperate section for "ANONYMOUS COMP"and have the 2 running comps side by side. rules still all the same like the 3 day running periods 25 votes etc. and when the comps done you would have the display of the image(s) of the day the, winners from the 2 comps. otherwise i think psc would just fall into a mindless drone and loose its personality and become like those other sites. this may help people in thier conflects of anonymous & nonanoymouys comps. i fell it would give them the option of choice and that all members would be happy.

IMHO this seems a lot more convoluted approach than a straightforward change of 1-2 contest a week to the already established anonymous rules.
