Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Jens Kaestel: Your idea is spot on but you should nominate the translation as "invite entries"
1 hr
  -> Thanks Jens
agree  Johanna Timm, PhD: excellent ;))
3 hrs
  -> Thanks Johanna
disagree  archtrans: This can be misleading. In architecture and planning, an "invited" (eingeladet) differs from an "open" Wettbewerb; in the former, entries are solicited from certain designers vs. accepted from those with the nec. qualifications. The comp. is "announced"
7 hrs
  -> I note that you suggest "announce". What is announced? The competition as such, or participation therein?
agree  Kim Metzger: I just used your "xxx has been awarded annually" version.
