Remove "won" Contests From "Find a Contest"

On the "Find a Design Contest" page, it shows time left for contests that have already been won implying there is still time to enter it.

I agree. It is bothersome when I see a contest I want to enter, only to find out it's been won.

There was a comment on another idea that I liked: when a winner is selected, automatically close the contest. Or prevent the CH from picking a winner until the contest is within a certain time frame of ending.

I don't think that preventing the CH from completing a contest early is the answer here though :-) Many CHs like to close early for various reasons.As soon as winner is announced, contest should automatically 'close'. Same as when a contest is 'withdrawn', should see 'withdrawn' in list,. It's not until you go to the actual contest listing that you see that the contest is no longer open.

I think it'd be good to remove them once they've been won. What's the point in leaving them up?

yeah, but they're probably already taking care of that
