It isn't very common these days to come across any contest or publication that doesn't accept electronic submissions.

BTW, having to submit a paper copy to a contest sponsored by the kennel society made me laugh - of course they would want a paper copy, they can use the losing submissions instead of rolled up newspaper to smack puppy butts. Or to put in the bottom of puppy cages, and so on.
