The problem here is that you can only install one app with the same signature.
So either the judging app will let you judge the app using the currently installed version, instead of downloading the "contest version", or it will not let you judge apps you already have installed. I hope they'll go with "use the installed one", even if it means a little bit of unfairness, seeing how apps will be judged based on different versions in some circumstances. Preventing users from judging applications they have installed would seriously punish popular apps. Both scenarios create unfairness, but the first one rewards good developers instead of punishing them. If I get some kind of confirmation on the second scenario, I'll have to submit my app under a separate signature. Otherwise, I'll just submit the one in the Market.
