I kinda agree with Liz the Squeak on this...however, Mudcatters will be Mudcatters, so I think a potential solution is to include more categories.

I suggest a few more:

Most Knowledgeable in Matters Celtic
Best Guitar Advice
Most Respectable Knowledge of Obscure Instruments
Most Erudite about Early Music
Best Encyclopedic Knowledge of Lyrics
Most Likely to Differentiate Between "Pop" Music and other types (and rightly so)
Mudcatter I'd Most Like to Drink With
Mudcatter I'd Most like to Eat With
Mudcatter I'd Most like to Sing with
Mudcatter I'd Most like to Play (insert instrument here) with
Most Helpful/Hospitable to Travelling Mudcatters
Most Humble Mudcatter
Wittiest Mudcatter
Most Optimistic Mudcatter
Best Looking
Most Likely to Succeed

(well those last two are kinda high school...but why not?)

Happy new year
