I do not know. 

I know the admin is sending reminders to clients and you never know when they will back. In order to avoid any charge backs it has to be waited for a long period of time.

Many contest stays expired past 60 days and 1+ year.
I know that:
"Expired and Abandoned contests:
A contestholder has 30 days to decide what to do with their contest once it goes expired. If the contest stays expired past 60 days it is considered abandoned."

Yes, I am also hope there will be voting in some contests that have been abandoned by CH, because I'm worried that our designs are very vulnerable to being stolen by irresponsible people :)

Yes, you are right, our projects are very vulnerable to theft and there are many examples of theft from contests that I found on other sales sites.

If you feel vulnerable you can withdraw your entries in any contest - expired or closed.

Yes, it is understood that we can withdraw our entries for participation in any contest that has expired, but because the voting was held on the abandoned competition, I am not withdrawing my entries.

If I officially knew that the voting for the abandoned contests is no longer held, I will withdraw my entries.

I still don't understand when a contest is considered abandoned.

I am not sure either. I also remember the time when abandoned contests did not go for voting at all. 

 

But almost non if you is actually withdrawing designs even in the closed contests (and open public contests), so point of feeling vulnerable doesn't make sense right?

And on the other hand, most frauds are actual designers on this platform, and we can not tell who it is for sure, and mostly they are staling in real contest time.

 

When I had participated I would have left designs in expired contests and closed contests until I need them for another project, simple as that.

 

Good thing with non-withdrawn designs is that you can have a proof of date of posting it if someone steal it.

Yes, it is understood,
but I still haven’t received an answer as to whether the contest is abandoned if 60 days or 1+ year have passed since the expired of the contest period.
Thanks.
