Just search for: art competition "anonymous" and you will see plenty of anonymous cases and considerations regarding securing a more fair competition, including avoiding conflicts of interest, discrimination towards genders or minorities, etc. (in a huge number of results is due to information in cookies being "anonymous", but even excluding those there are plenty). These considerations are rooted in real issues, and pending your goals and circumstances may be well founded. Historically, specifically authors have used pseudonyms (i.e. being anonymous) to avoid being unfairly treated, not the least women, but also men for various reasons.
