Bill Greenwell, Basil Ransome-Davies, and I all got our names into another competitor's winning entry this week. Of the three of us, I was the only one not to win a prize of his own. Bill took the top prize.
I'm following John Whitworth's good example -- although I guess Jayne Osborn gets the actual credit for the idea -- by including the deadline date for the next competition in the headline. I'll try to remember to do that from now on.
