A notice hung on the closed doors, stating that the owner had gone on vacation, but those wishing to participate in the contest could leave their applications in the mailbox.

"What a day! Every one of my plans seems to be falling apart. (=_=) No journalistic coverage, unfortunately. Or fruitful collaboration.
