For those of you wanting to enter contests, post your questions here after you have read this post.

FIRST:
You must be logged in to the main site. Registration is free.

SECOND:
You must upload your entry to your portfolio. Somewhere in your comments on your picture, include the fact that it is FOR A CONTEST. It wouldn't be bad to include CONTEST ENTRY in the title.

THIRD:
Go to the contest page you wish to enter, and click on to '0' button. To open your portfolio

FOURTH:
You'll see all the images in your portfolio. Click on the image you wish to enter then click the submit button.

And you're entered!

NOTE: MAKE SURE YOU CHECK THE CONTEST DATES. The 'O' button won't show if the contest is over!

thanks for participating!

Hi am new to this, and I can't seem to figure out how to upload my image to the contest page.

The 'O' button does not show up on the contest page and I can't see other people entries either. I only see one "X" button and that only closes and opens the "rules" section.

can somebody help me, i really want to enter the contest.

Cool. Yeah, key points:

1) Post your entry to your portfolio like you would any other image.
2) Make sure you include the name of the contest in the artist comments.
3) Once it's approved, then go to the contest page, find the ENTER CONTEST header and click on the O button.

Looking forward to seeing more entries in the packaging contest!

The contest has a feature that allows us to set a end date- and then the software automatically disallows posts to the contest page after that date.

If you can't post your image before the date, the best way to update us on a bug is to e-mail us. There are e-mail links on the Contact page.

But unlike some contests where you can slip something in under the wire, the contest pages closes automatically. Your best bet is not to wait to long to post your entry- since you also have to wait for approval as well.
