Who's gonna win?!

I am announcing the Inaugural Write to Tina Awards, organised by the Thoughtful Incoming Notes Association (TINA). But here are the rules (pay attention, it’s like a Dave game on Chris Moyles!)

Rules
1. There are 2 competitions to enter: The Race (whereby the winner is whoever gets their post to TINA first) and The Golden Prize.
2. In The Race there are 3 categories in the UK and Ireland section:
-Postcard (must have more than 30 words)
-Letter (must contain 2 sides of written material)
-Parcel (must contain something exciting* inside)
3. UK and Ireland competitors may only enter in one category.
4. There is only 1 category in the USA section of The Race, all mail will be accepted.
5. The Golden Prize is for the best article* of post received and is open to all. Points will be awarded for creativity and originality and may not necessarily reflect the size or monetary value of the article of post.
6. There are 5 prizes on offer, one for each category in The Race and one for the Golden Prize.
7. The closing date for entries to be received in The Golden Prize is 7.11.05
8. The category winners in The Race are determined by the article of post (in the competitor’s chosen category) to arrive first.
9. In the event of there being more than one item to arrive that day, the category winner is the one on the top of the pile. Competitors must trust the TINA to adjudicate fairly, there can be no appeals made against the validity of the winner.
10. A competitor can only enter the Inaugural Write to Tina Awards twice, once in The Race and once in The Golden Prize.
11. All competing entries to the Inaugural Write to Tina Competition must be marked as such and clearly stated which competition a competitor is entering.
12. Winners will be notified by email and receive their prize via return post, provided an address is known.
13. Prizes will be chosen to suit the winner and will be picked by the TINA.
14. There is no cash substitute for prizes. Prizes should be gratefully received.
15. Competitors wishing to enter the Inaugural Write to Tina Awards can email the TINA to find out the address to post competing items.
16. Any clarification of the rules may also be fielded to the TINA
* as defined by the TINA
