The page has no action buttons because UNI does not run that competition. It is a listed competition: UNI is telling you it exists, and everything else, registration, fees, submission and judging, happens on the organiser's own site. When UNI has been given the organiser's link the page shows it; when it has not, the page is a description and nothing more.
How to tell which kind you are looking at
Every competition on UNI is one of two kinds.
- Hosted. UNI runs it. You register, pay, submit and are judged here, and the entries and leaderboard live on the same page. These carry Register, Submit and, where there is public voting, Vote.
- Listed. Somebody else runs it. UNI carries the brief and the deadlines so you can find it. These never carry Register, Submit or Vote, because there is nothing here to register for.
A listed competition with an organiser link shows a button that opens the organiser's site in a new tab. A listed competition without one shows no button at all, and that is the version that reads as broken when it is not.
Entering a listed competition
Work from the page as a notice board rather than an entry form.
- Read the brief and the deadlines on UNI. They are the reason the listing is here.
- Follow the organiser's link if the page has one.
- If it has none, search for the competition by name and find the organiser's own site. The brief usually names the institution or studio running it.
- Register and submit on their site, to their rules and their deadlines.
What UNI cannot do for a listed competition
This is worth stating plainly, because most of the questions we get about listed competitions are requests for things that are not ours to give.
- Your entry does not exist on UNI. It will not appear on your competitions page, because you did not register here.
- There are no UNI fees, and no UNI refunds. Any money involved was paid to the organiser and only they can return it.
- There is no UNI certificate and no UNI award. Certificates and awards come from the body that ran the competition.
- We cannot tell you your result, chase the organiser, or extend a deadline. We do not hold that competition's entries or its schedule beyond what is published on the listing.
If the deadlines on a listing are out of date, or the organiser's link is missing or dead, tell us and we will correct the listing. That part we can fix.
Finding them, or avoiding them
The Listed tab holds this kind exclusively. Anything you find under Ongoing, Trending or Past that carries Register and Submit is hosted by UNI. See What each competitions tab contains.
