Are we supposed to send a hard copy of the entry form with the dvds or can we put a digital copy on the ftp?

Now when I try to enter a video into Pro, it's saying the submissions are closed.. But from what I understood, the deadline was the END of today...So....Was the deadline for ftp submission requests last night at midnight, or tonight at midnight? ;_;

I did the exact same thing. I don't see anywhere on the site where I can upload my video at the moment, and I thought I'd still be able to upload it today. I just barely finished my video on time after working on it like mad for the past few weeks, so can I please still upload it?

EDIT: Okay, nevermind, I just tried going to ftp://www.awa-vat.net and it let my put in my username and password and upload my video. It will take another 9 hours to upload, though... But I guess I can stop freaking out now.

I've been looking forward to this contest a lot.

Hard copy.

As for the FTP site expiring early... lemme go in and take a look.

Oh dammit. Some idiot put in the expiration date as the first minute of today.

I'll get it fixed.

Everyone assume that if this snafu prevented you from uploading today that you've got an extension of a day.

Dammit...

Now it's MY turn to panic.... I just finished up my video too and I can't seem to upload my video as well. The FTP address is taking too long to respond. Should I keep trying? Please help!

See above post by me.

Thanx, MC

I'm hoping I can still login to the FTP server 'cause for now it's not taking my password.....

Due to a programing error in the FTP we will be granting an extension to the deadline. I will announce the new deadline once we get the error fixed.

That's good to hear. Despite the issues I've had myself you guys have been good at getting back to people. I certainly know how much of a pain it can be to have such an issue come up so close to the deadline though.
