we hope to work with all of you again, along with new teams on WLE 2021. As

our positive experience of extending the contest until July the last year,
we have a flexible approach regarding your local dates this year. You are
free to decide when exactly to hold your contest within the international
timeframe or close to these months, for example, in April or July (other
months can be considered by the international organizing team, too, please
contact us with your suggestion). We advise to do it for no less than two
weeks and no more than two months.

previous year's lists, and please update them as necessary.
