I disagree somewhat with the not possible/too expensive reasoning though, Though I think there were a few that weren't possible, and some that would have been too expensive, the best ones on the list would have been neither of those.
If you go to: http://happypontist.blogspot.com/ You will find a good dialogue and explanation on all 33 of the submissions that explains a lot about why some of the entries couldn't make it into the finalist round. Its written by an experienced bridge engineer, and makes for some interesting reading about some of the thoughts. Some good thoughts on competitions too.
