   	What are the submission guidelines? That is the ONLY thing that   
   matters. If they say "submit paper copies, with X font and Y spacing"   
   then that's what you do. If they say electronic, then you submit   
   electronic (in whatever format they specify). If they say either one,   
   then I'd say go electronic; a physical copy just clutters someone's desk.   
      
   	Just remember to *follow the submission guidelines*. Because they   
   usually really, really do mean them, if for no other reason than as a   
   first-pass "throw it in the can" filter.
