Timeline
Generally, administrative pre-check takes about a month to allow entrants time for corrections and compliance alterations. The judging process also spans approximately a month. Winners are traditionally announced about a month and a half after the final deadline. This year’s schedule is on target for a mid to late-August winner announcement.
