In this guide, we explain how to set a deadline only for a specific application (or multiple applications), which supersedes the open call deadline. Sometimes, applicants miss a deadline or request more time to complete their submission.

For the purposes of this guide, an open call can also be referred to as an opportunity or a challenge. An application can also be referred to as an idea.

Overview

The diagram below describes the key steps in the process.
