Hi,

In the trigger code, you will check whether this date is already submitted, than
you need to pass "Trigger.addError"  which will stop the trigger to fire and stop the insertion. Please read more information about addError and it will be easy to solve. Showing you a path...:)

Thanks

Please try below trigger. I guess that will help u 
trigger ContactTrigger on Contact(before insert)
{
for(Contact cont : trigger.new)
{
	if(cont.lastName == 'Test')
	{
      cont.addError('Please enter valid LastName');
	}  
}
}
Please let us know if this will help you

Thanks
