No problem, that is why I use the term midnight, you have all day the 23rd, at 11:59 PM GMT (remember it is Greenwich Mean Time to be fair, you don't know how many times people try to make the time be their time and not follow the rules) you better have started the upload process

Answer: 12:00 PM September 23/12:00 AM on September 24th is the final submission deadline. I was actually waiting for this question to come up

If a file upload starts before the deadline but completes after the deadline we will cut some slack, should probably load your gallery image before the deadline and if you have problems e-mail it in so your entry is time stamped before the deadline.

If for some reason the server or site goes down during the deadline we will extend the deadline for the time the system is down, so don't stress out, if there is a problem just e-mail your entry, if our system is down your e-mail will still have a time on it based when it was sent. Contact link on the bottom right of the forums links directly to my e-mail account.

Thanks Russell

I was hoping it would be like this. This time with GMT modifier gives me time to work on my entry till 24th morning...I am so happy

Yes, if you are on the plus side of GMT it is great, if you are on the negative side, not so great, but the only way I know to make it fair and easy to calculate, If I made it my time or something, people would have to apply several modifiers, this way you can book mark http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/ and easily see what your alotted time is

FTP Error Message pops up when I try to access the FTP:

I put a quick blurb about this in the instructions I thought, just hit 'OK' and login via the 'File' drop down menu in IE and the login option using the information given in the contest rules. I don't know why that error message comes up, but it does not stop you from accessing the FTP.
