Time limit of answering about Freelancer Project/Contest ?

Hi, I am a new freelancer and already win a contest. But from 5 days I am participating many bid's ( 14 ) and 7 of the bid's already closed ( Time passed ) but no winner declared. My question is...
1. What is my next step ?
2. Which kinds of Project/Contest response earlier ?
3. How much time they take to response after deadline ?

Thanks
Asad
