I'm not a mapper and thus I'm not able to really judge anything on detail or lighting beyond making incredibly low-depth observations such as "that looks pretty" or something similar. However I believe I'd be highly qualified to judge a map based on its gameplay, but that's it. It's for this reason that I wouldn't want to be a judge unless there were judges for each separate category and then I'd be delegated one specifically to gameplay or something, which I'd be happy to do.
However if Exoduss takes his mapping contest seriously he wouldn't allow me to judge someone's use of heightfields for example, I don't even know how to make a heightfield. My greatest mapping achievement to date was collaborating on "lss_brasil_larry_sex_remix_2015" with Undead, DamDam, Marti and some others, and I guess that speaks for itself.
As far as all-around judges go, I'd agree with Robtics that yopa would be a great choice, Undead too.
