It's only an issue if you are running a competition and 'judging' the entries received. As Di mentions a random draw is absolutely fine, and a good way to get around this problem. Thanks Di.

But of course that's not really fair at all - I've seen other compers get upset in competitions where it looks as if their entry has been copied, and the later entrant has gone on to win the prize! But nothing can be proved if the entrant claims they had exactly the same concept! And in some cases both entries could be ruled out as a result! Just to add - a Pinterest prize draw where boards are created and the winner is chosen at random is absolutely fine. I have run a couple of these myself and they've been a great success!
