Let people know in contests their entry got through!

Okay so again the finalists for gear design are in. Which again I didn't make it. I would like to know if my entries are getting through or not. I mean there are beautiful designs there but then some very simple ones with no heads or tail and made with very simple methods. So it's starting to make me wonder why every time my entries never make past the finalist cut. (I know it's a matter of opinion and design idea but still) I would like to know in the future,

SO please make an automatic reply to entries sent that you have received them at least.

Would make me know that you at least got it and didn't like my entry than make me wonder did it go through or not.

Why though, it seems 90% are japanese anyways xD

Yeah that's true... idk why let other countries take part if they choose most from their own country there's no point just waste of time for the rest of us.

I have to add i didnt take part on it as i cant draw at all xD

Its just the very same one every contest... i do see the possiblity that we may just not hand in that much and its actually 70% JP 30% rest but still... could we maybe get some numbers on that?
