Depends on what the contest moderators call "soft SF", and how you incorporate it into plausible SF (hard SF). The greats of hard SF (Asimov, Heinlein, Orwell even) wrote mainly social SF, sometimes called "soft SF". If that's what you're referring to, soft SF easily works into a hard SF story, often going hand-in-hand. Perhaps a clarification on whether the hard SF qualifier is strictly for the physical sciences or if social sciences count in this contest?
