Yes of course judges do have to thin it down.  For instance in the Norsewear
awards there are a huge number of entries.  People do also get accepted
without having an art degree the rumour is though that they do not get
accepted until they have submitted three years running though.  I think this
is probably a myth.  It costs $50 per entry though.
