Some contest sponsors have been sympathetic to this issue and have adapted their contest rules by defining non-contest windows.

The contest sponsors are not planning to execute any of the designs; the intent was simply to stimulate thinking.

After they are received by the contest sponsor, logs are checked for accuracy.

After the conclusion of a contest, each station must submit its operational log to the contest sponsor.

Once a contest sponsor receives all the logs from the competitors, the logs undergo a process known as "cross-checking."

In cross-checking, the contest sponsor will match up the contacts recorded in the logs and look for errors or omissions.

Some contest sponsors offer the raw score results data in a format that enables searching or other data analysis.

Both sent in pictures, and the contest sponsor soon asked Lima to come out for the competition.

Danze still received a $50,000 consolation prize from Gillette, the contest sponsor.
