    Hi:)

    This has been answered on here rather better than I can but I have searched and can't find anything:o so

    I believe when these comps were sent on entry forms through the post the rules specified block letters, presumably in an effort to make entries more legible. I think possibly when they first went online this was kept in the rules but I don't think this is any longer the case. Personally, I see no real reason why the answers shouldn't be typed in lower case as long as the spelling of the answer is correct.

    If you look at other regular comps of this sort, we all tend to continue to use block letters. My personal reason is I find it easier to differentiate the answers; that is also why I change them to red.

    I think whether you enter the answers on the form in upper case is personal preference.

    Sorry this is so long winded - concise is not exactly my middle name:whistle:

    Good luck, however you enter:D
