# Entry Layout Options

Learn how to configure and customize individual entry page layouts in NorrCompetition.

When creating or editing a contest (or configuring global component settings), the **Entry Layout Options** tab controls the design, metadata, and interactive elements displayed on individual entry detail pages.

By default, each contest inherits its settings from Global Configuration (*Use Global*).

Entry pages trigger standard Joomla content and NorrCompetition events. You can inject custom widgets, badges, or rich media using content plugins. See [Using Content Plugins on Entry Page](/norrcompetition/customisation/using-content-plugins-on-entry-page.md).
