There are now approximately 10 hours remaining to get your proposals
in, and this will be the final reminder. 19:00 UTC today is the
deadline. Please ensure you submit your proposals as early today as
possible. If you miss the deadline, you will unfortunately have to
wait until next year (if you're still eligible).
Thanks
