Brickfest seems to need an offical photographer
who photographs every MOC and takes down the name of each builder. Oh, or
maybe we could just increase the font size on the MOC cards tenfold. :)

As one of several BF’04 attendees who methodically took photos and deposited
them with Todd Thuma for his BrickFest DVD (I myself tried to document
everything in the Castle room, mostly from Minifig POV, and with a blue-sky
backdrop -- thanks to everyone who helped carry it), I’ve considered how this
might be implemented. (I keep forgetting to make suggestions to the BF
organizers, though.)
Assign every MOC a number (an “accession number” to use museum terminology),
which can be printed in a larger font on the MOC-card. (This also simplifies
voting.) But not every MOC is pre-registered, so there’d need to be an on-site
registration process for late arrivals; and not every exhibit photo includes the
card.
Have an official photo-area (with lighting, blank backdrops, turntable) at which
an official photo is taken of each MOC as it arrives. But this process would
bog down during peak arrivals, for attendees with dozens of MOCs, or for
oversized MOCs that necessarily are assembled in situ or have significant
internal detail. (E.g. castles, giant spacecraft.)
Designate a roving photo team that documents each room, MOC-by-MOC, prefixing
each MOC photo with a reference pic of its card.
IMHO, fabric backdrops are very important, to avoid cluttering each photo with
classroom walls, nearby MOCs, or attendees. Those provide context (“Yes, my
mech was exhibited at BrickFest”), but impede file-compression, and are
messy.
