Art and Cosplay Submission Questions

[Eclipse]

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

If you have any questions that are not up here I would be happy to add them to the top post.

Questions:
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?

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

4. Should we be sending in new submission emails with updates on our progress or will that reset our place in the selection list?

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

6. Instead of including photos can the entrant just post a link to their instagram/tumblr/photobucket?
