Note: Not every contest begins on the 1st and ends on the last day of the month. It is YOUR responsibility to know the final entry date for the contest you choose to enter. If a contest deadline is during the month, but then reopens that same month, feel free to enter any time during that month. If it closes during the month and doesn't reopen that month, choose another contest. *Wink*
