The Azed Competition is a skill-based contest. The Azed judge will assess all valid entries and will select the three clues that are judged to be best based on originality, creativity, cryptic excellence and precision.
The prizes for each month’s Azed Competition are book tokens in the following amounts: (1) £35 for first place; (2) £30 for second place; and (3) £25 for third place. The book tokens are redeemable in the UK only. No prizes are awarded for entries that are selected as being VHC.
The judge may also select any other entries that the judge considers to be VHC (very highly commended) and HC (highly commended). Only entries from UK residents are eligible for the top three prize-winning positions.
Entries from non-UK residents will be eligible for the VHC category only. The judge’s decision is final, and no correspondence will be entered into.
Winners announced Sunday two weeks after publication.
