It is up to the individual home brewer to select the style and sub-style for the entry. Judges will not re-categorize entries. Marked caps need to be blacked out with a marker. Each bottle requires its own label. Each entry requires its own entry form. The recipe is optional, but may be decisive in determining Best to Brew winning entries.
