<div style="font-size:11pt; font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Somehow I'm guessing that your hackerspace doesn't have the same risk profile as a corporate entity such as Radio Shack. Coming up with rules that meet the legal requirements of every global legal
jurisdiction means teams of lawyers just to get domain expertise in every jurisdiction.<br>
<br>
I doubt that the value of the contest to the company outweighs the cost of the legal review, which means the alternative to a US-only contest is no contest at all.<br>
<br>
Is that really preferable?</div>

<br>
As someone running a non-profit in the US for the past 7 years and<br>
shipping money, goodies and prizes all over the world, the only<br>
restriction is not to ship to terrorist. So each time we ship we need to<br>
check if the address is not in a specific list given by the US government.<br>
<br>
And we ship a lot more than U$1000...<br>
