Im allowed to submit three totally unrelated articles as a single entry. Why should I take that approach rather that submitting each one as a separate entry?
A. By submitting three unrelated items in a single entry, a reporter is able to demonstrate a breadth of work and a facility with disparate science subjects. Such entries have won the contest, including both newspaper awards in the 2005 competition. But judges also have cautioned that a writer who enters three unrelated pieces must meet their expectations with each of the pieces. If one part of the entry is weaker than the others, it can hurt the entrant’s overall chances. If you have any doubts, it is probably best to enter your strongest pieces as individual entries.
