As I'm sure you are all aware, we've experienced a few technical issues in the past couple of weeks which have made the submission of WIP images and final pieces difficult.

As a result of this, we have decided to push the deadline for the Image Competition back one week to the 19th of January 2009. Pieces must be submitted before midnight (UTC/GMT) on the 19th. Image pieces submitted after midnight will not be accepted.

The Video Challenge deadline has NOT changed. It remains at the 3rd of Feb 2009.

Once again:

Image Submissions - 11.59pm UTC 19th January 2009
Video Submissions - 11.59pm UTC 3rd February 2009

We recommend that you do not leave your submission to the last minute as it can take some time for final submissions to go through.

If we have already submitted a "final image" can we rework this and resubmit?

Edit: I submitted my final exactly 1 minute before this post was made, Doh!

Woohoo! The late nights and feeling absolutely knackered all the time can go on for another week ;)

Seriously - I was getting depressed at the thought of putting so many hours into this and not being able to complete it.

Thanks again.

Just a reminder, this extension is because we have had server issues. Technically everything should be finished, so don't try a "but it's still rendering" after we turn it off :)

And another reminder that the cut off time is in UTC. Which means the deadline will vary depending on your location. For example:

UTC: 12 midnight 19th Jan
Hong Kong: 8am 20th Jan
Berlin: 1am 20th Jan
New York: 7pm 19th Jan
Los Angeles: 4pm 19th Jan

Please check this link for the exact time in your area:
http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?month=1&day=20&year=2009&hour=0&min=0&sec=0&p1=0

The countdown on the Submit Entry Page (http://features.cgsociety.org/challenge/steampunk/submit_entry.php) will give you an idea as well.

The system is programmed to cut off submissions right on the deadline, so there'll be no sneaking entries past :)

Good point. My question is, will the "late submit" affect judging?

I mean, as you mentioned, technically everything should be finished before 12th. For the ones who are still entering their WIP milestones and manage to complete and submit before 19th, will their entries still be valid for judging?

The only thing people should be doing after 12th is submit their final. For the ones who are still working on their piece and manage to complete and submit before 19th, will their entries still be valid for judging?

Yep. The new deadline is the same for everybody, and everyone's work that is submitted before the 19th will be accepted for judging. You've all been given the free gift of an extra week to refine your work due to our server difficulties, so even though some were able to get it in by the 12th, there will be no preference given to the early entries.

Can you say when the judgements will be announced for the image catagory?

Anyway both video and image deadlines should have been put on the image entry. I thought the whole challenge was on the 3rd of feb. Since I was in China till the 24 jan I I wouldn't have had a chance even for the 19th of jan deadline. i was hoping to get it done in the week I got back. Oh Well, Guess I will just have to wait dor dominance war. Good luck to all on this challenge.

The dates for both the image and video challenges have been displayed prominently in several places since the beginning.

Judging is ongoing. An announcement will be made when decisions have been reached.

I've tried to enter today and wasn't allowed. Is it too late to start a submission process?
