Because of a timezone issue on the contest website, the contest stayed open past midnight on the deadline day and a few members were able to enter two hours after the official close. In order to make things fair, we are reopening the contest tonight, Feb 23, from 7 to 9 p.m. so that everyone gets an extra two hours to enter. Find the contest at www.betternewspapercontest.com.
