DUDE - Extended Submission Deadline

Due to a postponed deadline for the ICDAR competition report, we can offer more time for participants to submit solutions to DUDE. 

This makes the final (HARD) deadline for DUDE participant submissions: Thursday 20 April. 
We hope this extended deadline gives participants some room to further polish their solutions and claim their places on the leaderboard. 

Kind regards, 

The DUDEs
