Crossword - Errors In Submission

Can anyone confirm the acceptability of errors in completion of answers in pen for crossword submissions to newspapers, magazines etc?
That is: if you over-write or use tippex on the original.
Many thanks

I would check with the publisher of the crossword

Have sent quite a few in with Tipex used, never thought about them not being accepted, good question, but don't know now whether they are accepted or not, sorry

This query arose a few years ago.It was thought that most crossword submissions were acceptable with tippex or over writing providing that the actual answer was still legible to the checker.

I know that tippex is accepted by the Telegraph.

if tippexed entries are disqualified i've wasted a fortune on postage over the years :-)

I have won several prizes with various news papers/magazines, and I use quite a lot of Tippex.

Many thanks to all who answered this question. It has always been a debate in our family - I do believe that as long as the answers are clearly legible then it should be considered as acceptable, which appears to be the consensus of replies.
