I guess it's because the comp uses autopost, which won't work until you have made 5 posts. So cruise the forum, post a few comments and submit your entry...
btw, starting an introduction thread is a good way to boost your post count

Hi serafil,
all of the entrants into the competition forum are hidden and kept annonymous until the initial judging is completed. If you return to the home page and click on the underlined tab which say 'visit our Competition and winners gallery' there you will see a seperate tab which offers you to view your entry. This will retrieve your image to show that it has been entered correctly.
Alternatively click here http://www.phototopix.co.uk/ptcompetitions.php
Good luck
