Contest Statuses

Every contest has one of four statuses, set on the Details page:

• Draft — the contest was just created. Default status for a new contest.
• Active — the contest is underway.
• Complete — the contest has finished.
• Archived — the contest is finished and put away; it's treated the same as Complete for the purpose of locking things down.

Status is set manually — nothing moves a contest between statuses automatically. Use it to track where a contest is and to filter contest lists.
