Re: AWA 2015 The Video Art Track - Deadlines AUG 30 & SEP 6

Post by NepNep » Sat Aug 29, 2015 7:58 am

I have been trying to upload my Pro video for 3 days and keep getting the error that says "for some reason". I just tried again now with the same error on multiple browsers. I will not have access to my computer at all on the 30th so I am scared of being disqualified because of this technical issue. I knew I wouldn't be home for the deadline, which is why I finished early so it is frustrating not being able to submit it. Can we send links via Google Drive instead?

We have never disqualified anyone because of upload issues, especially when the problem is on our end.

I am trying to get the issue addressed by technical support. I do not want to return to the utter chaos of people sending me links to every file store and (worse yet) streaming site on the planet. This worked well last year and the year before. I need to find out the actual problem.

Please be patient.

I hope you at least extend the deadline by a day or so. I personally will still be able to submit regardless since I don't have any obligations today or tomorrow, but I know a lot of people who do, and this issue really kind of screwed them over, especially because of how long it has been going on so now it will be a lot harder for them to submit if they even have time to at all >.<

To the best of my knowledge, this started on Thursday. I'll extend the deadline one day for every day we're offline. Currently, this puts the deadline at 5pm on Wednesday, but this will change if this is not resolved today.

The problem is resolved. The deadline remains extended to 5pm on Wednesday unless I hear people are still having difficulties.

Given the deadline push, is there any estimate on when we should have the videos to start voting? My schedule crunch is on the other side of the deadline, unfortunately, and I had planned some things around assumptions about when we could start.
