The pdf file from the site is for 2009. But the contest is for Chelmsford/N. Chelmsford residents only. And they only accept unframed work, which is kind of unusual.
Here's another contest, and the submission date has been extended to Feb. 2.

Contests like these let you show the real beauty (and blemishes) of your (large) prints, which are often obscurred in the low resolution jpegs. The two can be very different.
I wonder if they saw this item and finally posted the correct .pdf. The .pdf linked yesterday said the deadline was Jan. 28, 2008, and that the photos would be displayed at Winterfest in February 2008. Glad they fixed it. I'll update the residency requirement -- thanks for pointing it out.
