约炮视频 Photo Awards Entry Platform: Frequently Asked Questions

Having trouble entering the competition or submitting photos? The answer to your question will likely be found here.

1) I click the CONTINUE button on the first page of the entry form and get no response.

Every field on the form that includes an asterisk (*) is required. You鈥檒l want to double check that you filled out every field where an answer is required. Check that you鈥檝e selected a category (Adult or Youth), email address, etc. If that doesn鈥檛 resolve the problem, try using a different browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, etc.). If that still doesn鈥檛 work, please take a screenshot of the error message and contact the Contest Help Desk .鈥&苍产蝉辫;

2) I'm trying to enter the contest, but I get an input error. 

Double check that you chose your category at the top of the page (Adult or Youth). If that doesn鈥檛 resolve the problem, try using a different browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, etc.). And if that still doesn鈥檛 work, please take a screenshot of the error message and contact the Contest Help Desk. 

3) I haven鈥檛 received an email confirmation.

It could be possible that your internet domain is blocking your confirmation email. 

Blocked domains include:

  • @ameritech.net

  • @att.net

  • @bellsouth.net

  • @flash.net

  • @nvbell.net

  • @pacbell.net

  • @prodigy.net

  • @sbcglobal.net

  • @snet.net

  • @swbell.net

  • @wans.net

If you want to make sure your submission was finalized please contact the Contest Help Deskand write 鈥淣o confirmation email鈥 for question 5 (鈥淧lease鈥痚xplain the problem or question.鈥). 

4) When I upload my entry the file name appears in the box but no image appears. What鈥檚 wrong?

This is normal. For some images the preview/thumbnail image will not generate, while for other images the thumbnail image will display with no issues. This should not be a cause for concern and does not necessarily mean that your entry will be impacted. If you receive an error during the upload process, please take a screenshot of the error message and contact the Contest Help Desk 鈥

5) I was charged more than one time for the same photo. How can I ask for a refund?

Sorry about that! Please contact the Contest Help Desk  and write 鈥淐harged multiple times鈥 for question 5 (鈥淧lease鈥痚xplain the problem or question鈥).鈥&苍产蝉辫;

6) I am having a problem with my email address being accepted on the entry form.

There's no reason that the form shouldn't accept your email address as long as you are using standard email address formatting (xxxxx@xxxx.com). You might try a few things to resolve the problem: 1) Make sure that the email address you鈥檝e entered is identical across both the 鈥淓ntrant Email鈥 field and the subsequent email confirmation field.  2) Try using a different browser: Chrome, Safari, Firefox, etc. 鈥3) Make sure that you've selected a category (Adult, Youth) from the bulleted list above where you enter personal information. 4) Try to refresh the page and enter the values again.鈥&苍产蝉辫;

7) How do I get back to my partially completed entry?

Each browser session on the Contest website should remain active for approximately two hours as long as your browser is setup to save site cookies. If you allow the session to extend past those two hours without submitting the photos or videos, it is likely that the information you have entered will be lost and cannot be retrieved.  

Additionally, please do not use the browser 鈥淏ack鈥 button to navigate between pages on the Contest website. Each page after the first page of the site has a button designated for toggling back to the previous page (labeled 鈥淏ack to Modify鈥). Clicking the browser 鈥淏ack鈥 button from any page on the Contest website may take you back to your browser home page or to the website you visited before coming to the Contest website.  If you do click the browser 鈥淏ack鈥 button, you can simply click the browser 鈥淔orward鈥 button and return to the Contest website with all the information you鈥檝e entered still preserved on the form (as long as your browser saves site cookies.)  

If the problem persists, please take a screenshot of the error message and contact the Contest Help Desk鈥. 

8) Can I 鈥渆dit鈥 the description section on one of my photos?

Once you've submitted your entries, you can't edit the information. However, if your photo is chosen as a finalist, you will have the opportunity to provide more information about when and where it was taken.鈥&苍产蝉辫;

9) I would like to add another photo to my entry after submitting.  How do I go about doing that?" 

If you've already submitted an entry, you may simply start the process anew and submit another entry with a new photo. 

10) I prematurely/accidentally submitted a photo. Can I edit a photo after it鈥檚 been submitted, or receive a refund for my original submission (and resubmit it)?

Unfortunately, photos that have already been submitted cannot be edited or replaced. Once you鈥檙e ready, please resubmit the photo you wish to enter into the competition. We cannot reimburse your initial entry fee. 

11) How do I access the discount code?

The discount code can be used by student members of established 约炮视频 on Campus chapters and by 约炮视频 on Campus program ambassadors. The discount code will be shared in the 约炮视频 on Campus newsletter. Learn more about 约炮视频's 约炮视频 on Campus program鈥 . 

12) I clicked the web browser 鈥淏ack鈥 button, and I lost the data I entered on the form.

Please do not use the browser 鈥淏ack鈥 button to navigate between pages on the Contest website. Each page after the first page of the site has a button designated for toggling back to the previous page (labeled 鈥淏ack to Modify鈥).  

Clicking the browser 鈥淏ack鈥 button from any page on the Contest website may take you back to your browser home page or to the website you visited before coming to the Contest website.  If you do click the browser 鈥淏ack鈥 button, you can simply click the browser 鈥淔orward鈥 button and return to the Contest website with all the information you鈥檝e entered still preserved on the form (as long as your browser saves site cookies.)
