Unfortunately, the organizers of the event have turned it into a popularity contest. Based on artistic merit, she should be at least neck-and-neck with the other big (already professional) photographer, but she's not, because she isn't already famous enough.
If you go to this link:
contest you can vote for her. You don't have to register, or anything. Simply vote and leave. No spam, or anything. Be sure to click the tabs for each day (there's 5, we're on day 4 right now) and vote for all five days.
I hate that the contest has come to this. Don't vote for her if you truly feel the other entries are better. There's a different category for each day, so keep that in mind.
