Created Contest

When you have created a Contest, it is shown as in the example in the above screenshot.

What can you do with a created Contest?

Edit

Once a Contest is created you can still change or edit the information in it.

You can edit all the information in the Contest as long as it is in the Not Started state.
Cancel

Cancelling a Contest moves it to a Cancelled state. You cannot erase a created Contest from the system, which means you can always access it in the Archive.

Once a Contest is Cancelled, it cannot go back to the Not started or Active state.
