I might be mistaken but I think that some contests are ending before the stated deadline. I asked a question last night on a contest that I thought had two days left. The question was answered and I began some work on it, and then went to sleep. I wake up this morning and the contest is closed with winners selected. Is this common practice? What gives?

While I was submitting one of my design, but it didn't show up in the list, then I was non stop refreshing the design entry page, suddenly the contest is finalized. I don't understand why it ended well before due day. Early the contest page showed "1d 15h left".
Lesson learned!

HI there
Unfortunately the client can choose a winner at anytime. COntests can close several ways by the client. Contest can go expired then client choose a winner or client can choose winner while contest is still running. I always tell the the client if you are going to choose winner early then please let the designers know, simply write a comment on comment page that you will be choosing a winner soon so the designers can stop working on ideas for your contest.
Some will do as I have suggested while others do not think they need to.
I'm sorry some clients have wasted your design time
