It looks like the last one was Oct 17. I suspect they might slow down through Nov and Dec. Last time it apparently took two years to get all responses...

Thanks, @anotherearth and @trobinson...I'd only found info on the most recent one and the one from 2021 and didn't know if I was missing something. Just my luck to be a day late and a dollar short!

@lilredcc I think their last open submission period was in 2021...? I randomly saw this one posted on X/Twitter.
