I think you can send in as many as you like. What the great man Bill Greenwell does is to use pseudonyms. In fact I have won with a pseudonym, though that was long ago. Of course, if you do, you must put in your proper name and address as well so that the cheque is made out to you when you win. I is said that an old hand whose (pseudonymous) name was Martin Fagg, once won all six of the prizes with six different entries, all under different names. I have a couple of pseudonyms, Phoebe Flood and Fergus Pickering, that I sometimes use. Phoebe is good for entering those disgraceful competitions that allow only women to participate. (I'm joking. Of course I am). I used Fergus to translate Greek poems of a disgusting nature.
