Voting for the 3rd type of nomination cannot be done by players of this map, because the uniqueness will be expressed by a large spread of scores. That is, some vote for the map 1, others 10. Therefore, the average score will be low.
In other words:
Because originality (connection to a specific style, etc.) is understood differently by players, for some the map will be a masterpiece, for others – garbage.
Solution:
1. There are formulas that calculate the spread.
2. This nomination is not needed. And will there be many maps? Maybe only 3.

I hope you know what a session is? ;)
Early February is the optimal option.
In my opinion, the "originality" nomination is no less important and relevant than the two main ones, as this will be one of the incentives for map creators to approach the creation of a map with soul, to come up with something unique and special (I think most map creators understand what I'm talking about). The understanding of originality is different for everyone, but everyone grasps the idea, and this is the essence of this nomination, and the main meaning is to reveal the talent of the map creator (perhaps one that he is not even aware of). It will be pleasant for everyone to be nominated!
You are right about the spread of scores, but there is always a solution – it is necessary to think about (together) a system of evaluation, it could be like this:
- calculation using a formula (I don't know how, but I think there is a way);
- awarding points using a +1 or nothing system (as in sociology);
- awarding points using a +1, +0.5, 0 system (as in statistics);
- in addition to the site guests, an expert or a group of experts can evaluate the scores;
- maybe there are other options, we need to think about it together.
Regarding the timing, I agree that there is no need to rush and it is necessary to take into account the upcoming holidays and the possible workload of students!
