The version of the contest announcement on the Modus Operandi site says that the time period must be before 1914.

Hiya

As several participants in the UK have contacted me about when they can submit by (it is the Easter Bank Holiday here) I wanted to post to clarify the actual closing date for the competition.

The closing date listed on the Modus-Operandi forums of is Monday 9th and the winners will be decided on 20th is correct (rather than the incorrect date listed on this post[/b]. I confirmed with Jamie when we organised and sponsored the competition.

The reason for this is to give people the Easter Bank Holiday weekend in the UK the chance to submit as well as you lovely folks in the US

Cheers,
Gobion
