Cartographers and Seekers Contest (NA) - Discussion Thread

[Morningstar1337]

So I have a couple questions?

* Can we use pre 50 locations fro the maps
* can we enter both contests at the same time (provided that the map for Seekers isn't the same player's entry for Cartographers)
* can any of the prizes be stored in the Armoire?
* Do you need to be able to access Ishgarde to qualify?

On my cartographer entry, I forgot to add the name of the area in the information part (I thought I did, but I might have rushed it, I didn't notice). Since my treasure map still says what area it's in, will it still count?

It's just how many players that are "recommended" to fight the monsters from the coffer, just like any other standard treasure map in game.

I think most of the time the number is just for completion's sake to give that authentic feel. Most of the maps are just places with nice views.

Greetings my good community reps! I submitted an entry for the Seekers competition, and requested a Scarf of Wondrous Wit as the prize. Alas, afterward I received one from voting on the Hairstyle contest! Woe is me!! Is there a way to change my chosen prize, or if I were to win, would the good folks at Square Enix send me one I don't already have? Thanks for your time~!

Why did you close entries a day early?

Same question wanted to check in if the Cartographer Contest ended on Thursday Oct 8 and not Friday Oct 9.

Thanks!

Well, I'm posting my Seekers entry in here. It's still in compliance with the official rules, but I guess it's up to you guys if it still counts. Please do a better job informing us if you randomly change deadlines!!

I understand there might've been some confusion with it technically being October 9th in Japan or something but I was really looking forward to making an entry (and procrastinating cuz I'm awful) so I'm disappointed to see the thread closed :<

Oh, dear! I was just about to submit my entry for the Cartographers category! However, the main contest thread definitely does state:

The “Contest period” begins on Thursday, September 24, 2015 at 12:01 a.m. (Pacific time) and ends on October 9, 2015 at 7:00 p.m. (Pacific time) (the "Deadline").

I hope that this is just an error! If it is and the thread is reopened, if a community rep could kindly delete this post, I'd appreciate it! <3

But, just in case... I'm going to join Syggfryd and post my entry here.
