New Feature: Final 15-Minute Submission Window Explained
Platform · 7 Jan 2025, 10:49 · 1

Exciting news for all Zindians! We’ve introduced a new feature to improve the submission process at the close of competitions.

Here’s what’s new:

  • 15-Minute Buffer at close of competition Competition Close: Submissions will close on the hour, as normal, however you now have 15 minutes after the official competition end time to finalise your submission selection.
  • This buffer ensures that any backlog of submissions is processed efficiently.
  • Most importantly, it gives you the chance to carefully review your submissions and select your best 2 entries for final evaluation.

Why this matters:

  • No more last-minute submission jams!
  • You can spend the final 15 minutes strategizing and choosing your top-performing solutions.

How it works:

  1. Submissions will stop being accepted at the competition official end time.
  2. Use this time to check your leaderboard status, compare submissions, and select the two entries you want to submit for final evaluation.

We hope this change makes the submission experience smoother and gives you an edge in the final moments of the competition!
