Derkert had a good idea with this one, and I submitted a postcard to make that "International" sound louder. You usually see much more stuff made by Northern artists. Just check the countries...(well, Australia is in the South, technically).
In the mail art world, where the postcard sending practice is usual, you normally don't see it announced as a "contest", but I think is great all work is gonna be displayed in Stockholm aniway, even if the postcards are a kind of side show. All this is interesting because art is a system and has rules for legitimation that are anything but transparent.
I already have my Deviant account up and you can take a look if you want:
