Art and Cosplay Submission Questions

[Bayohne]

H err e are some questions that have been floating around the art community since the contest blog post was released.

Glad to answer them!

1. If submissions are first come first serve, why do we not get notified right away if our email was received or if we made it in?

2. Can we please get some sort of email confirmation before it is too late?

In response to this feedback, we'll be sending out "your entry was received!" emails to those who have entered the contests (including those who have entered already - give us a bit to get those out). With that said, as outlined in the rules, we'll be waiting until the submission period closes to notify the users who have been selected (as well as the 10 additional back ups).

3. Some of us submitted links to instagram/photobucket to provide additional progress photos and for updates. Are those being checked?

Progress is not judged on an ongoing basis. It is only a requirement that you share some form of status in the form of a photo along with your entry submission email. As stated in the rules "Costume progress along with a photo (0%-100%)" means that the entry must include a photo showcasing a work in progress. Don't worry about sending constant updates as that is not the purpose of the requirement.

4. Is there a size limit to the crafted art submissions?

There is not any limit listed and we'll attempt to make it work with what we get but... hopefully the size of the piece is realistic? If not, we'll have to decide how to handle it! (Updated 12:14 p.m.)

The art submission question was directed to crafted items. Sculptures and the like.

For physical entries for the art contest, is it fine for the item to be post-marked by august 31, 2016?

Thanks!

Yes, for physical entries, as long as it's postmarked by August 31, 2016, the entry would be valid!

We're looking forward to seeing all your entries!

Can you tell us about how long it would take to get an email? I hope I sent it in correctly.

Hi Arrelaine,

About how long did it take for you all to get a confirmation email for digital entries? I sent mine in last night, was wondering about the timeframe before I flip and try to resend.

Can you tell us about how long it would take to get an email? I hope I sent it in correctly.

Fret not! I have checked, and can confirm we have received your entry.

Thank you so much for letting me know!
