Competition Etiquette/Rules
Hi Folks. Just wondered if anyone could clarify the rules/etiquette for submitting a piece of work to a competition? If a piece has received a 'commendation' in a competition, would it be possible to submit it to a different competition or not? Does a 'commendation' count as 'winning a prize'? Thanks.

If it was just a mention it was commended then I don't see any problem using it elsewhere.
BUT you do need to look at what the rules of the potential competition say. If you're in any doubts email the organisers and ask.

Most competition organisers will be happy to clarify grey areas. They may not have realised the point was unclear, and can amend the details.
