As quoted from Foxy in
http://www.planetminecraft.com/tickets/837/ :
"But regardless of this, things like lore and renders aren't factored into the Presentation Score. The presentation factor is about how well the build itself is presented in-game. For instance, you could make the most complicated and amazing group of castle builds in history for the contest, but if you did something like scatter tall bulky towers around the castles which obscure their visibility from a distance and make it difficult to know what the castles looked like or how well they were done overall without going out of your way to closely examine them and map them out to figure out what they look like as a whole, then you may score pretty high for Technique and Execution, but you would have done a poor job at presenting the build, resulting in a lower Presentation score. This is just one example and there's more that goes into it, but this should give you an idea of what we're looking for with that."
You said you were a judge yourself, but it looks like you have a different view on what the presentation score is ("In reality I think judgement is done 33% based on how the project itself is placed on PMC. For example the
lore, quality and effort taken to make the project page nice and add value to the project."). Foxy specifically said the lore is not part of the presentation score.
Makes me kind of question the communication between build contest judges.

Contest judgement fase category weights
I never realy noticed, but the weight of the judging categories are a bit off in my opinion.
Presentation isn't the most clear subjects to judge. More subjective then the other two.
I would suggest a 40/40/20 precentage rating instead of 33/33/33.
