Regular entrants in these competitions will know that the winners are almost entirely drawn from a pool of a few dozen people, about half of whom are Sphereians. Perhaps there are hundreds of people who submit stuff regularly but never get anywhere, though I doubt it.

The size of the postbags must vary considerably according to how appealing individual competitions are, and it's further complicated by lots of us submitting multiple entries under different pseudonyms so that we can't be seen to have won two (or more, in some cases) prizes in the same comp.

I'd guess the average entry is 20-40 individual pieces of work, but it would be interesting to know for sure. I wonder how these Brit comps compare with the one in The Washington Post?
