3pm Sunday Local time – Your video should be submitted and a URL linking to your video created to load on your Project page. It may take some time for your video to load once you have started the upload process.
5pm Sunday Local time – You MUST have all parts of your competition entry submitted before 5:00pm Local time.
Server uploads may take time, and last-minute submissions could fail due to high traffic or file size. To avoid issues, we strongly recommend uploading your files progressively as you complete them rather than waiting until the final minutes.
