Thanks for that bit of encouragement. Perhaps I will enter one
electronically and the other as print to better cover my bases.

We had the same problem with a white paper we'd produced. We were very proud
of it and wanted to enter it, but weren't sure which category it would go
under. In the end, we entered it in the technical publications competition
under the category it would go under if it were given out as a printed item.
We printed the paper, and handed it in to the competition in a nice
binder/folder. Then in our entry form, we explained that we produced it with
the idea that people would print it, but provided it as a PDF through our
web site.

The entry won an award, and in addition, judges' comments surprisingly
praised this as a good means of production and distribution. (We were sure
we'd get some criticism, since some folks don't like PDFs.)
