You would pay a lot in shipping. Get others to sponsor it for you and get them to pay to ship it, otherwise cash is an awesome alternative Finland is very far away. You would pay a lot in shipping.

Right now the price of shipping is really expensive so I don't think could be a good idea to ship anywhere besides where you live. That is just a thought so I'mhappy that you brought it up.

I know what you mean when you say people find loopholes very easily. I think that is one problem with most web sites and blogs because people so easily look for these kind of things and can find them. I think you'll find a way to stop all of these but all the good web sites out there have to deal with the same issue from the beginning and are still dealing with it today.

I am currently in the process of planning a contest. This post posed several questions that I hadn't really considered. I will be giving physical prizes, so I will need to specify whether or not I will ship international. This is a good follow-up post. Thanks again. Thanks for the post.
