Comments on the clue

1.	"Almost" makes it the only acceptable PRINTS/PRINCE clue. Glad Willie Nelson gets a mention. Alternative spelling of willy (penis) is fine.
2.	prints as hp for prince not ok by me, and almost hp is a new one!
3.	Needs to sound more natural
4.	Made me laugh. Really like this in spite of the 'almost', which I don't think is strictly needed and doesn't add to the surface

Comments on the competition
1.
Some vigorous weeding out seemed desirable so I have discounted entries that equate STRONG HOLD with STRONGHOLD or PRINTS (homophonically) with PRINCE (except 61); entries which include a link word or punctuation mark which is not part of either clue; and the punning use of "columnist".
