Early Birds, Worms, All That: Apply Now!

 other told us that the early bird gets the worm . . . well, that's notalways true.  But it's not wrong either.   Several thousand people arespending significant time on the DML Competition website every week butfar fewer applications have been started.  That worries  us.  We don'twant anyone shut out of this competition because you started theapplication form too late and didn't have time to finish.  This isn't a situation where you can ask for an incomplete!

Last year, we had a whole lot of applications.  But three times that many people started and then didn't finish.  Some, I'm sure, changed their minds.  But it looks like others simply ran out of time.  Please don't do that to yourself.  You can go in, start an application, leave, come back, revise, work on it some more, leave, come back again . . . all that!  We tried to make it as user-friendly as possible.  

If you have questions while you are working on the application, you can ask via the Contact box.  We work hard to get back to you pretty quickly.  As it gets closer to the deadline, when questions are streaming in, we can't promise as quick a turnaround.  That's another reason to start your application now.

There are 15 days left.  Count 'em.  FIFTEEN DAYS.   Apply now.  And the very best of luck to you!
