Hi, I've been trying to post my image to the Cover 7 Contest for the last two hours and I keep getting a window that says the Page Cannot be Found. :( It is 10:10 PM - E.S.T. Is anyone else having the same problem? Isn't yhe contest open until tonight - midnight - MST? Thanks in advance if you can enlighten me! TLee

Hi Terrielee Your image came through without a problem - It even came through twice :) All images have to be approved by either myself or Firefly before they appear on the Contest Page :) So you are All set :) Thank you so much for your entry. Dee-Marie

Ya, I had this problem a lot when I was running the Card Contest. I would check it 2 or 3 times a day and I's still get people messaging me about the People are so anxious about getting their work up, can't say I blame them. I think it would be helpful if Renderosity had an e-mail confirmation that the submission was uploaded correctly and awaiting approval.

Good idea Ross! I know that the Contest Managers get a notice whenever someone posts a Contest Entry - But one going back to the Person Entering the Contest is a FANTASTIC idea! Dee-Marie

And now the link is gone for the contest. I just wanted to check and see where things were on the contest. Anxiously waiting to see who wins :) Dave

Hey Dave :) All the Contest links are down, and will be Re-loaded once the Contest Winners are announced :) As I am sure you know - it takes a ton of time to redo the Contest Page once the winners have been picked - thus we need to take the Contest Page down, while we are re-doing the page :) Thanks for your interest in the Magazine Cover Contest - and best of luck to everyone who entered.

Whatever. In the Real Men Do Pinups contest the entries stayed up until the winner was announced but the uploading was disabled. Why didnt you do that for this contest? Dave

Hey Dave - The contest page will only be done for less then a week :) The Magazine Cover Contest is very different from other contests. The additional new page formating is intensive. Due to the many uploads of the winning images [not only the 3 top winners but the top 25 images - it would not be practical for the contest to stay viewable while creating the New Pages :) Thank you so much for your understanding - and I promise to post a note here when we have the page back up for viewing :) Sincerely.
