Personally I don't think that there'll be too much of an advantage or disadvantage for typical entries, though the disparity will be obvious between a haiku and a lengthy epic.
I'm not so keen on having someone with less votes win the competition, regardless of length. I think that this should decide who gets to pick the theme if it comes down to a tie between two or more entries, and that we'd use (somewhat enlarged) brackets so that the difference doesn't come down to piddling words.
