Ack, just about done! I'd sigh a sign of relief once editing is complete, but then after that... AWA vid editing time!

/me wonders how many American contestants will screw up the "Date Completed" on the entry form considering that the format specified is DD/MM/YYYY.

Also, I'm assuming we dump the files in the "Upload" directory if submitting via FTP.

Considering how many Americans screwed up things like "Song Name", you don't want to know the answer to that question

Next contest I'll try to whip up some clickable calendar, even though all I REALLY care about is the year :-/

Yes, files go in the upload folder. Your root directory doesn't exist. You're basically logging into RAM. Your studio's folder doesn't even get created until you start uploading something to the UPLOAD folder.

We have your entry, it just has not been tested yet. We're getting A LOT of entries and it takes a while to encode them properly and test them all on the projector ^.^

Vic, something's wrong with the submission thing. I just finished my video and I went to the submission form, but all the links to it are down. Is there a problem with the form? I didn't miss it yet, right? Can I upload the Submission Information via ftp?

I uploaded my video just now, along with a txt file containing the submission information. I hope this helps. If the site comes back up again, or something, let me know.

UPDATE: False alarm. The site came back up. Must've used up a lot of bandwidth. I submitted my form and video now. Reply when you make your decision on it. Thanks.

Barring anything crazy, I should start uploading tomorrow. I usually like sitting on a final render for a day before submitting (in case I see something horribly wrong with fresh eyes in the morning).

Good luck to everyone!
