We accepted the cover in good faith but we also understand the comments raised.
I do not believe that the entrant should be eliminated, he conducted a search and got no return but I can also see that a search could have been better conducted.
The option I can only see is to suspend the contest for 4 days to allow the entrant to submit a new cover. This would have to be agreed of course but I would like to see a fair solution which I'm sure any of you would appreciate if you were the entrant being challenged.
As far as the Mummy is concerned that is OK imo, the story concerns curse given by a sorceress - which is a witch/wizard. The theme of this round was deliberate to allow a wide spectrum of choice.
