[QUOTE="Wild Gazebo, post: 5112735, member: 24413"] I seriously suggest separating categories into mediums to prevent this type of debate. This would have to be implemented down the road: but serious thought should be given to this. If not solely for the fact that none of the given reasons hold much water. I fail to understand how product penetration could ever govern the ability to judge quality. I fail to understand how production quality could ever be judged across mediums to begin with. I always assumed you guys just made due. PDF only should never be eligible by the stated logic--and vice-versa. I fail to understand how you can make the claim that all entrants must follow the same rules while in the same post state that not all entrants have to send in print versions. We live in an age where I can get a professional print of a document with binding in under a day. A silent auction in any form will stir action from people wanting to support the cause. I'm sure you can make due with t-shirts, sketches, donated swag...and proper marketing. Please don't let an ethical issue slide for your lack of fundraising knowledge. I suggest letting all entrants submit electronically...or none. Or simply broaden the scope of the awards to include print categories and electronic categories: where both versions would have to be submitted for overlapping categories. So I guess I just fail to understand. [/QUOTE]
