Just thought I'd drop this here, in case you are using a filter of some sort to pull the entries:

The third part of Step 2 has a typo:
- Include "Pi Camera Board Photography Competiton" within the blog title and write a short description

There is an 'i' missing from 'competition'.

Hey guys, here's a "heads-up" for you:

Your rules #3 & #11 contradict each other. I have to Purchase a Raspberry Pi camera board (which isn't even available here yet) in order to take the required picture as specified in rule #3, but Rule #11 says that I don't need to purchase anything in order to enter the contest!!

You may need to re-think your rules or you could create a reason for someone to give you a lawsuit.

Below is a cut & paste of your rules #3 & #11:

Rule #3: To enter the competition, the user must take a picture using the Raspberry Pi camera board in one of the following four categories:

    Your workshop/den
    Your Pi project
    People and Pets
    Outdoors

Rule #11: No purchase is necessary to enter but you must send your postal address to us in order to allow us to send you your gift once you have been informed of your win.
