@PeteDomican @RachaelDunlop Hopefully now we've added a clarification at https://t.co/5tDqfujD3X it looks a little less weird (or at least, explicably weird). And if Explicably Weird isn't a great title for a story, then I give up ;)

@RachaelDunlop @BALovric I was literally writing a footnote to the landing page as you posted this! https://t.co/5tDqfujD3X

[HG Wells Competition @HGWellsSSC]

@BALovric @RachaelDunlop Agreed, and today is not the first time it's been raised, which is why it is addressed on our FAQ page on our website, as it is Frequently Asked. There is always scope to make things clearer and review however, so we'll look to do so.

[HG Wells Competition @HGWellsSSC]

@RachaelDunlop They are separate competitions but take the point about promoting them separately - we'll look at doing so - limited volunteer time is the main constraint! We do clarify the points on both the prizes and funding on our FAQ page, as both points are Frequently Asked.
