it is not a suspicion of false entrants. generally wonder how some of these small competitions are run (tho "Young Animator of the Year UK" would suggest it is reasonable size by now).

how would you avoid an entrant submitting pre-created or even some (obscure) work by someone else?

what are good prizes that incentivizes good submissions? how would you run such small competitions?

Because I think these small competitions could be super interesting for fostering skills among younger folks.

on the other side, what is in it for the organizers? is it best run as a charity?
