Exactly, that's why I usually don't enter these kinds of contests.Rick said:
I will do it just for fun anyway.
I mean, if I could choose all my guitars would be alpine white with black hardware = no way in hell that design would win over fancy tops with dyes and stuff. But I'm going to do some fun design for the sake of contest. haha

From what I've read, the winner will be decided by vote, not by any objective measure. So, just about anything could win. I've seen a lot of pushback against "coffee table" tops, so the fancy wood/dye/binding paradigm isn't necessarily going to be a winner. I know I'm a big fan of the black on alpine white presentation, and I'm sure I'm not alone.

Yep...the contest is by vote, so really its just a popularity contest. Anything can win, if the entrant can get the votes. We chose this kind of contest specifically for this reason: to get as many people as possible to the Warmoth FB page.
As far as what's popular, I get the feeling fancy tops are on the wane. I mean, check out the axe that won Unofficial's Guitar of the Year last year.

You mean the pickguards on the reverse strats, or the strat pickups that are reverse-angled? Actually, I just looked at the reverse strats, and the pickguard builder (whether you go directly to it, or through it as part of the body builder) will only let you put in strat pickups. I know it used to allow other pickups, as a year or so back I was thinking about building a Johnny Ramones-style strat with a mini-humbucker in the neck, and you could do it then.

reverse angled strat pickups. The pickguard is correct in the builder, but if you go to add covers to them, the covers are not reverse angled. So if you want to build a reverse angled strat for the contest, better want black pickups.

Hmmm, gotta ask if hardware is included or if you only make the body + one humbucker?

Its quite common to limit promotions involving chance due to the Byzantine laws of many jurisdictions. I also wouldn't be totally shocked in a small company if someone said "Oh crap, he's right" while reading this post.

There are legal issues right within the US about the differences between contests, promotions, sweepstakes, give-aways, premiums, etc. Then you get into income taxes. Get outside the country, and it only gets worse. You've got shipping issues, value added tax, duties, tariffs, import taxes, justbecausewecan taxes, and who knows what else. Who's gonna pay all those? If you indemnify the winner, you leave yourself open. If not, who needs that hardship?
