We would like to thank our talented community for rising to the challenge and supplying us with a stellar selection of ring designs.

The development and operations teams are carefully reviewing all entries and will soon select the ten finalists. When their choices are revealed, you will decide which designs rise above the rest and appear in-game!

Finalists will be announced in the near future here on the Lodestone.
A few days ago we could read this...

Only four days remain until the deadline for the FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn Gear Design Contest! If you wish to be in the running to have your own design appear in-game, be sure to submit your entry by September 3, 2012, at 11:59pm (PDT)!

Now, maybe I simply don't understand how timezones work, but I'm quite sure 11:59 PM (PDT) is later today.
