Really?

Then perhaps you should run a competition that doesn't demand a £30/35 entry fee, or indeed any entry fee at all.

Writing competitions that demand an entry fee are, at best, primarily a money-making enterprise and, at worst, a blatant scam designed to exploit wannabe-writers.

I think they all do don't they?
This one seems fairly reasonable.
Sometimes it's worth shelling out a few quid just to make you get off your arse and finish a project.

Not quite all.

The BBC's 'Last Laugh' competition attracted about 5000 entries and there was no entry fee.

But that was a hundred years ago, Rood.

Don't diss the past.

I live there.

I would worry about any organisation concerned with writing that didn't believe in apostrophes, particularly if their paid-for script reports are going to pay attention to punctuation. Its on the grid, folks.
