So the other day (Sunday) was the day that the W101Central banner contest ended. It said 12:00pm EST, without thinking I figured that meant midnight when the date would change to the 24th, as this is how most contests end. Just to make sure, I checked the post on the homepage. It hadn't been marked as closed, so I didn't think anything of it. That night at 7 I put the finishing touches on my banner design and worked really hard to make it look nice. I go to the submission thread, and guess what? It was closed! So I pm'ed Jester and he told me he couldn't accept my submission and that he's had to turn down many others.
Now, if I were running a contest like this, I would value all submissions. I honestly wouldn't care if it was a few hours late. I mean, if it were the next day I'd have to say no, but if it's the same day, then there wouldn't be any hesitation with me accepting it. True, if it was just one person, I might turn them down, but if it was a bunch of people, I'd snatch up those entries in a minute, I mean, it's for the good of my website, why not accept it?
So anyway, I couldn't get Jester to take my work, but here it is. (Yeah I put a watermark on it.)
Happy Gaming

Awesome banner... shame it was late :/. I can see how you may have won! :)
That's an excellent banner! But I'm with the contest dude; if it's late, it ain't getting in. I read the rules and it said specifically that late entries would not be accepted. But it's still a cool banner.
Thanks guys.
@Arlen, yeah I feel like it would've won.
@Victoria, yeah, now that I think about it I should've payed more attention to the time. (I always got the 12:00am and pm's confused, so I guess that should've been reason to check it closer.) I was just really upset because I worked a long time on it, and I was really happy with how it turned out. I'll be sure to be better about that in the future.
