Feedback on Regional Contests

Sometimes the contests are fun despite not being applicable to your country. For example, there was Colocation America [not Eaton (power conditioning and UPS) as I previously stated] contest for the US only. There was one of several photos you got to modify for a particular theme. I submitted my entry with the disclaimer that I could not win. My entry was more about sharing my sense of humour with the community than potentially winning a prize. There are other contests that ask you to trial a product and the entries will be put into a draw. Well, I may not be able to participate in the draw, however, it drew my attention to their product.

TL;DR: you cannot judge the content's worth by a contest title.

Edit: Updated contest sponsor in my example.https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/1590017. Eaton had other contests...
