Some contests allow electronic entry, some do not. Why?
We try to offer a variety of opportunities for players to join our various contests. Some contests offer the option of an electronic entry. However, the sheer volume of entries in certain contests—particularly those that are related to art—makes accepting electronic entries impossible. This is because the process of judging entries is much more difficult and time-consuming with electronic entries. We usually have three or four levels of judging, and working with physical copies of art entries makes that process much more efficient. So the reason that we require entries from certain contests be mailed to one of several addresses is to aid in fair and thorough judging of the entries. We do offer multiple addresses for the submission of entries, so that the costs of mailing are minimized. And we will do our best to offer occasional contests that allow electronic entry.
