Entring the contest: Our Intranet Design Annual has been published in early January for the past 20 years. This year, however, we moved the deadline for contest submissions out by a few months to accommodate teams in getting their entries together. This delayed submission deadline pushed our report writing out also — thus the April publication date. We are working on the schedule for the 2022 contest. Please check this call for entries page for updates for the entry deadline.
