Last year, we were going to require the use of entry forms for all contests but there was some pushback so it was made optional. One of the concerns was that folks may not enter if they had to provide their address, etc so I changed the form to make that information optional.
This year, I set up entry forms for some of the contests again and have some statistics to report.

I do not have data on the first crossword puzzle since I deleted the data before thinking about it. Sorry.
