Be My Valentione Contest (NA) - Discussion Thread

I'm assuming it was because you didn't include the title of your submission ("Shy Moogle") within the entry itself. It was only included outside of the piece (in the forum text).

"The entry image must contain an identifier that displays character name, World name, and the title of the submission."

That said, I would have given it to you anyways as you are Lala!

That's... really, really lame. It was obvious that it was mine. I'm sorry that the title of the piece wasn't in the picture?! Thanks for pointing that out though, I guess.

I really think you should have won... I looked through quite a few of the winning entries, and although most included all of the required information, some didn't. Multiple winning entries didn't have the title name within the photo. At least one winning entry didn't include the world name. I saw others like yours that had words written in the photo that didn't match the title to the post.

There's probably nothing that can be done about it, but it's really not fair. I would have been upset if I didn't win because of something like that, when other winners did the exact same thing. =/

I saw the same. If I had to guess, there were probably multiple judges dividing up the entries and individually reviewing them, and some were more flexible with the rules than others. That's just me speculating, though.

I'm with some of you, a bit bummed that my entry didn't qualify. I submitted a video containing a poem I wrote, some screenshots I took (to match the poem), and a piano piece I played. I thought it was quite true to the spirit of the contest and would count as digital art. Some of the entries I thought were lacking any thought or effort and clearly wouldn't win did, in fact, win. Shows what I know! :p

Anyway, congrats to those who won! Enjoy your lovely earrings!
