Hi Marty you raise a good point and I agree age does matter big time, I've actually done both in the past years. It all depends on the style of beer I've brewed. Like for example this past spring I brewed an ESB, I experiemted with dry hopping it a bit just for the fun of it well of course I entered the Blue Bonnet again but this time no success, it did get a good score of 32 and 34 but the judges found it a bit to hoppy for the ESB style, thats my bad cause it was just 1 month old. I drank some of it yesterday 6 month in and I think now is a good time for it to be submited to a contest since the hops have mellowed out alot in a 6 months period and the beer still is yummy!
