The closing date is 30th October.
I do know someone whose work did not get anywhere in the competition either last year or year before, but the same piece attracted a lot of editorial attention at Chicken House when she submitted direct - an earlier piece of work had given her a connection which enabled her to submit direct. So am saying that the comp isn't everything.
