I agree with all three of Vaidehi’s comments as of typing this. I’ll add that I think some posts would require research or talking to experts and could therefore take much more than 10 hours.
One response may be that this contest isn’t intended for those kinds of posts. But since those posts could be potentially very high value to the community, it seems reasonable to extend the deadline to encourage those kinds of posts. It seems to me like the value of extending the deadline and potentially getting a few more especially well-researched, well-argued posts outweighs the value of keeping the deadline March 31 and getting shorter posts that are written after spring break and between EAGs.
