Then the problem is laying in the rules & regulation of several US conventions. What do I mean ?
If they are opened for overseas contestants (this also should be marked somewhere that is opened, but anyway I usually ask this by mail before submission) also at least it would be fair to show somewhere that " Award shipping is not granted due to budget reasons" or sth like that. In this case you could know in advance what to expect when you submit sth. This little piece of extra info could avoid a lot of misunderstanding or disappointment -mainly for non-US contestants I think.....

And another reasonable thing: European contestants cannot just manage to simply jump to USA if there is a Con where he/she submitted something. Despite of -as you said - there is a little do with living in Europe
You completely missed my point.

My point simply being that it apparently happens all the time, to lots of people, no matter where they are from, not just to Europeans. I do not know why it happens, I am only supplying possible reasons and offering suggestions on how to help with the problem.
