call for...

Explanation:
From the limited context, since the line also contains "concours" (contest/competition), I would be tempted to think that "appel á tous" refers to the announcement made for gatherings (or if in France, usually strike or protest!)

So I would translate as calls for protest/gathering/strike depending on the context.

Free for all

Explanation:
It's probably a translation from an English language concept;

Look at English language sites and see what you find.

Otherwise i kind of like "free for alll".

Competitions & Calls

Explanation:
or Competitions & Calls for Submissions.

I think 'Calls' is OK by itself.

'Competitions & Calls All Fields' as another suggestion. I think calls it better than appeals because that sounds more like a charity.....
