Should the question be asked?
Story on a Heinlen estate contest...only open to European, African and Middle-Eastern students. I didn't catch any reasons why it is only open to these regions, but does anyone have an idea?

US law covers use of space by US citizens. The organisers may not want the US Government involved, also there could be other competitions running in the USA.

Your comment covers the USA Andrew... but what about LatinAmerica, and Asia?
I wondered the very same thing Z'H'D... but at this time I can't go check the contest website to see if they say anything about why it's limited to those regions.
