You have to pay attention to the contest rules which allow a few
adjustments but not many!! I never enter contests because the terms
usually allow all rights to be transferred to the contest company. This is
not the case here and the rules and terms seem to be very reasonable. I
would submit those but closely read the rules about how they can be
manipulated.
Good luck!
