Listed competitions: what you can and cannot do on UNI

There is no Register or Submit button on this competition, the page just describes it. Why?

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.

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.

  1. Read the brief and the deadlines on UNI. They are the reason the listing is here.
  2. Follow the organiser's link if the page has one.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.

If the deadlines on a listing are out of date, or the organiser's link is missing or dead, tell us and we will correct the listing.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.
