Hi Vlad! I haven’t received a PW for my account (nothing in spam). My emails for registration seem to vanish each year, so this is a heads-up.

[Vlad G Pohnert]

I did also forward it to you last night so maybe check and let me know and I can send it again

[Tasha Livingstone]

I kept refreshing and it finally showed up in my spam folder

[Vlad G Pohnert]

Just over a month left. Keep those submissions coming!
