Am I the only one annoyed w/ contest entries that don't fit the category?

Yea so it's kind of annoying seeing the same entries for every contest, no matter what the category, even though they have NOTHING to do with it.

Sewing contest? Let's enter a paper craft entry...

Jeez...

I think it's funny lol! I bet the people judging the contest get annoyed that they have to look through all those off topic entries though.

Yeah I find it annoying but I usually figure that they're just wasting their own time cause they aren't gonna win!

Yeah, I kinda just look at it as one less competitor...

But it does kinda make me grouchy because it feels a little disrespectful to people who work hard on their projects for contests.

I don't usually have anything that fits in to the required catergory for the contests but when I have on a couple of occasions I have been lucky enough to win some runner up prizes.
It is starting to look like a free for all by glancing at the entries.
Does it actually matter though? Does anyone go though and kick out the ones not fitting with the set criteria?
