Well thought of, that makes a lot of sense all together! Having the contest
in November/ December will make
it quite not a success, come to think of it! Pushing it to January on the
other hand makes some good sense out
of this.
Similarly, I'd suggest we use November/ December to market the contest
instead then come January, 'execution''
will be the key word!

Hello folks,
I personally think that doing the contest in November/December is not a
good idea since most students will be doing exams. I think that doing it in
Jan would probably result in an increase in participants.
