Your tool looks really interesting !
How do the images got into the tool ? Do you provide a full list on October 1st ? Or are the new pictures assigned to jury members on the fly as soon as they are posted to Commons ?
Best regards,
Sylvain.

Greetings all,
We had such a tool running on our website. Briefly:
* We create tokens for each juri;
* We randomly assign images for each token (each will get TOTAL/TOKENS images approx.), putting them on a "bucket level 1";
* Then, the token is sent to the juri person, which will use it to browse through the gallery of his assigned photos, and the selection process begins.
* The selection process consists in 2 passes:
-- The juri person either "promotes" interesting images to "bucket 2" or "demotes" uninteresting images to "bucket 0" (to mark them as viewed).
-- Most probably, in the end the juri person has selected too much images for bucket 2, so the last step is to demote images from bucket 2 to 1 again.
In the end, the bucket 2 should have the number we established (50) for him to have present on the juri presencial meeting.
The tool was further extended for helping during the juri presencial meeting: people gather somewhere, and the tool merges the 50 selected photos from each, and then a voting mechanism is due: each juri present will assign a classification.
At the end, the selection list is downloaded (for mobility) and ordered to clear out exequo's (each juri will change his vote according to the discussion).
You can have a "status" from last year, here:

And I believe you can try things (this is a "running copy" of the old site):

As for the presencial meeting' extensions, I'll have to dig where did I put them .

No voter will watch all images (or maybe not even a big part), so I think a
public voting system will only work with lists up to a maximum of 500
pictures. Watching 10.000 pictures (and some will have 50k) just takes quite
some time (1-2 days).
Last year I scrolled to the categories (looking 200 pictures in 10 seconds),
every picture that I liked or jumped out was then opened in a new tab by me,
and if I liked the picture I copied the link and added it to a page with
wikistyle pictures on big size (700px) this page I watched in preview edit
mode and this way narrowed down the selection.
Something like that is what we used for the jury pre-screening, we had
the jury members to look at the category pages as thumbnails and make
a selection from there. The links to individual image pages were
collected and we produced the final voting selection with a reasonable
amount of images. More people doing this, and the selection will be
balanced.
I think a basic but strong to tool to speed this up very much is to skip the
copy the link and place it somewhere else part of that and make that a
simple mouseclick.
I had the people making the selection copy the image URL from the
address bar copy and paste it into a text file, send it when ready. A
web app can be a helpful replacement for that, but keep in mind one
aspect: jury members may NOT be regular Wikipedia contributors and NOT
have an account, so it have to 1. work without login and 2. keep their
work together somehow.
so you start with a huge category, you go throught that page by page (200
pictures a time), and select those that you like (the add pictures to list
mode). These will then show in a list (where you can pick the pixel size),
there you have a delete mode to delete pictures not good enough. The only
thing is, no saving on Commons should be involved because
participants/everybody shouldn't see what the juries select (at least not to
soon).
