Hi Doug, the third response goes even further than competitions. This could have been published elsewhere e.g. in a magazine or on youtube or a blog. I think that is definately too restrictive.

There's also the question of competitions beyond Element14?

As Frank mentions, project can get reworked or modified long after the origional competition. So should we exclude something new or novel that is a derivative work?

I feel like it should be OK to reenter a previous project in a new contest if it has not won yet. There is bound to be overlap between competitions over time. Having said that, a reentered project would almost certainly stand a better chance of winning if it has been modified to better meet any requirements in the contest that differ from the original submission.

If the contest is a repeat or say annual in nature - e.g. Halloween- then previous winners without modification should not be allowed in my opinion. But by all means allow the improvement cycle to work for submissions that have not yet won.

The experiment sort of works (thanks [mention:44fa45702fda4d95b457f69505107f36:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] ) - the scores show in both places, but it appears you may need to visit the actual poll as well as this blog to see all the comments:
