Hi Michael,
Great initiative with this competition, been following the articles and they’re all really good and informative. I’m scrambling like crazy at the moment to get my article finished and submitted.
And that’s where I have question, the submissions are to be in before the 25th July, but then the winners are to be announced the 27th July(Friday). As far as I can tell the 27th isn’t a Friday.
I’m assuming that the dates are correct and the day is wrong but I just wanted to check.
