Thanks. Is of correct because it is in a title, not a complete sentence? Could we use of instead of for?:
-The deadline for applications is 30 April. -The deadline for entries is noon Thursday.

You switched from the singular to the plural in your complete sentences. There you cannot use 'of'. It is only when the singular form is used that 'of' is acceptable.
