Do you think we could possibly know when competitions results are going to be announced/ended?
They seem to go on for ever with no result.

Hi Galen, they're usually announced on the Won Anything thread and we email people directly afterwards if they're a winner. Happy to look at other suggestions though?

An end date would be nice.
They seem to run for ever with no hint of closing date.

Hi Galen, most of them do but some of the companies running the competitions have a target of number of entries rather than a date which makes it tricky. For those that we do have an end date we'll try make it clearer. Is there a particular one you want to know about?

How about a list of current competitions at the top of the Competitions home page, with either an end date or "Open" next to it as applicable...

The gorgeous scarf!

From the scarf competition header, Galen:

This competition closes on 29 August at midday.

All the competitions on our competitions index are live - we take them off once the competition has closed.

For competition pages, the closing date is under the 'how to enter' section and for thread competitions, they are usually stated nearer to the end of the OP.

There are a handful of competitions on threads which have an open end date, as LaraGransnet said. If we haven't specified a closing date, then consider it open - we would have 'now closed' in the thread title or within the post otherwise.
