Absolutely, I support WotF wholeheartedly. Not only do they encourage writers and keep up interest in SF/F, but I applaud the entire concept of looking only at new voices. Not only that, but I like a much larger portion of the stories in WotF than in any other publication I've yet to come across. I suspect that has much to do with each one being a relatively new voice who had to put a whole lot of blood sweat and ink into their creation.
So, even though I've yet to have any success I have no qualms about buying a copy of the anthology every year, and recommending it to others. And I'll continue to submit a story every quarter until I win or I make enough other sales to make myself ineligible. I just wish I understood why I haven't managed a single HM yet. Since the stories are judged anonymously it must be something about my writing itself, but I just don't know what.
