Submissions

Creating a submission is the primary way that you as a user can win an award in a challenge (Find a challenge). Here are some helpful things you might want to know:

Can I start a submission and finish it later?

Yes. In fact we encourage it. When you create your submission, click "Save as Draft." We'll email you the link to come back later. It will also appear in a "submissions" menu in the top right, next to your account information.

How do I know if you received my submission?

There are a few ways to tell.

• We'll email you.
• In the "Submissions" dropdown, next to the name of your submission it will no longer say "Draft."

What happens next?

• Your submission goes into a queue to be reviewed by the challenge managers.
• Your submission will only be visible to you and your team members while it is being reviewed.

When will my submission be published?

It depends! Here's what you need to know:

• Your submission won’t be visible to the public immediately.
• Every submission is reviewed by a human before it is published.
• Some challenge managers wait until the end of the submission period before publishing any submissions. Others publish on a rolling basis.
• Not all submissions will be published.
• Every challenge is different.

Why didn't my submission get published?

The most common reasons are:

• It hasn't been reviewed yet.
• It didn't meet the standards set forth in the rules of the challenge.
• The challenge manager is only publishing finalists.

Can I go back and edit my submission after I have officially submitted it?

• You can edit your submission up until the end of the submission period.
• Every change to your submission needs to be reviewed by a challenge manager. If your submission is publicly visible when you change it, it will be unpublished until the challenge managers review it.
