| Competition | Sponsor | Subject | Deadline (?)Why We Include Competitions Whose Deadlines Have PassedIn your perusal of our catalog, you are likely to come upon information about competitions past, or about to pass. These entries appear not by neglect, but by design, to inform of contests that repeat regularly. Although the deadline (and, in some instances, the specific topic description) might be obsolete at present, the other information allows aspiring entrants a head start, that is, to inquire "proactively" of the competition's sponsors instead of waiting passively for the first announcement of a new deadline. |
