Formatting of the presentation as submitted for the judges is difficult as the submission system strips the formatting and white spaces. This definitely "levels the playing field" as far as formatting and visual clues are concerned, so the quality of the writing is much more important.

I would recommend well constructed paragraphs that are easy to read and flow to hold the judges attention. Avoid long run-on sentences as it is difficult to hold someone's attention, especially without formatting and spacing. If the paragraphs are kept shorter, at least there are breaks to help make it a bit more readable.
