Question Entry did not show in competition

**Ervin 58** · 05-28-2020, 01:28 AM

Hi, I uploaded an entry into Knick Knacks close up but I did not see it anywhere in the list of entrants to be voted on.

The other entries were in my opinion far better than mine, especially the winning one but, I would have at least liked to have had a visible entry for others to be able to vote or not.

My entry into a previous competition was visible and did garner some votes, any idea why mine did not appear this time?

I pretty much followed the same procedure as before.

Hello, I see three contest entries from you, the most recent being from January 2020. Something must have gone wrong when you posted your knick-knacks entry. I cannot tell whether that was a technical glitch or a user error. Crossing my fingers that your next submission will be successful!

Ditto what Ole said. I monitor the contest and I don't remember seeing one from you Ervin.

After submitting, you can quickly check if your photo was posted by checking the contest submissions forum:

https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/21-contest-submissions/

Your entry will show up there if submitted. Otherwise, the page won't show anything.

I don’t know what happened, probably fat finger syndrome..
