The following are all contested TLDs containing at least one community priority applicant, though in some cases there are two competitive community applications. Furthermore, some community applicants have applied twice; once as a community and once as a generic applicant, as a way of ensuring they are still able to compete for the TLD should ICANN deny their community status per its TLD rules.

# <big>'''[[.art]]'''</big>, is one of the most highly contested strings, with a total of 10 applicants, which include 2 competitive [[Community gTLD|community priority applicants]].
The two competing community bids have been submitted by [[EFLUX.ART, LLC]] and [[Dadotart, Inc.]]. Dadotart claims it "is submitting this application on behalf of the Arts community, which it regards as Artists and those who have an identifiable engagement with the Arts worldwide. This naturally evolving community is the community represented by Dadotart in its application for the extension, .ART. The community is not static just as the arts themselves never stand still...Dadotart is owned and directed by deviantArt, an innovator in creating an Arts community online which has proven its commitment to support the Arts community online with more than 20 million members and 60 million monthly unique visitors. " A statement of intent at the time of registration will be used to determine if the registrant is part of the art community as defined by Dadotart, Inc.<ref>gTLD Application 1-1097-20833</ref>

"A bona fide presence in Switzerland (and thus community membership) (A) is a necessary but NOT in itself a sufficient condition for the right to hold any imaginable .swiss domain name. As the policy principles under (B) above show, there are additional requirements specific to the intrinsic role and importance of the domain name in question. These requirements will be defined in detail in specific registration regulations. They concern in particular the nature of the registrant’s presence in Switzerland and the registrant’s use of the domain name. Again, this will based on the fundamental principle of prudence: starting with a conservative registration policy in order to establish quality of and confidence in the .swiss TLD and then gradually opening up the policy as long as it does not endanger this quality and confidence."<ref>Application 1-1328-58462</ref>
