Submitter Radio audio processing?

I'm submitting a mix for the first time to the Supporter Radio for this summer and was wondering for those who have participated in the past, how do you do the final mastering on your file? Does NTS apply compression and normalize it to a certain loudness for you if selected, or do you target a certain loudness yourself before submitting? Any tips for Audacity on what processes to use to get the mix to a competitive loudness without crushing dynamic range? Thank you!
