From a writing Web site:
"[So and so] sponsors five high profile writing competitions."
O, Hyphen. Where Art Thou?
Of course I've carped on this before, but it hasn't sunk in.
Are these high profile writing competitions? No. That looks too naked.
Are they high profile-writing competitions? No. They're not taking place at altitude, and they're not competitions on how to write profiles.
Are they high-profile writing competitions? Oui!! They are writing competitions that this company believes are high profile.
Maybe it's better if they're NOT high profile.
