As part of your workup to future contests and followup to
concluded ones, it seems to me it would be appropriate to
mention that Impact is a NeXT-specific software distributor
and to invite anyone wanting to know more about that to
contact you directly.

I think the contest notices are entirely appropriate for
posting here.

Naturally I do not speak for others.  But for myself, at
least, I am glad for your prompt -- and I think adequate --
