It ultimately doesn't matter what we think, it's what competition organizers think. My best guess, from exposure to some of these folks, is that most of them are, surprise surprise, decent, logical, folks, but we're talking about the occasional nazi. Do you want to risk it? At the same time, do you want to ask if there's a possiblity you'll get shot down? But then, do you want to enter a contest with that kind of draconian attitude. I look at it this way, if I post for critiques it's not because I want everyone to say "wow, you have a winner," it's because I feel there's areas where I need help, which means I've already disqualified myself from entering a competition. If you have a painting that you think is a slam dunk winner, then enter the contest and post it later, possibly to ask why those so and so's didn't recognize my genius.
