Description
DescriptionThis application allows all users (not just AnotherContestGroup moderators) to submit contests to the Contest Directory , the AnotherContestGroup Upcoming Contests journal, and the Message Center Contest Widget simultaneously. This form can also be used to edit the details (such as deadlines) of contests that have already been submitted. This application is hosted offsite through the deviantART OAuth 2.0 API
Instructions
Instrucciones en Español
Click the "Download Application" button
You will be taken to a page "Authorize this app to connect to your account?"
Select the checkbox "I understand that Submit Contest v0.4 will now act in the manner described above."
The page says "Access, use and manage your Sta.sh" but this application does not use this privilege at all. Currently, applications are forced to request all available privileges even if they are not used. In the future the staff will allow applications to restrict which privileges are enabled [details]
Click "Authorize App"
You will be taken to a page where you can submit a contest. Once your contest is approved by an AnotherContestGroup moderator, it will appear in the Contest Directory
At any time you may delete the App from your account by accessing your Settings [here] and clicking the "Revoke Access" button
Frequently Asked Questions
Question: Can you extend the deadline for my contest?
Answer: To extend the deadline for your contest, open the Submission Form and follow the instructions. When you are prompted to enter your journal URL, enter the URL of your contest journal and click "Continue". The next page will list the details of your contest. Update the deadline and then click "Submit" to save your changes
The end date of my contest is 1 day later than it should be
The app doesn't know the time zone of the contest host so it assumes PST. However, deadlines are converted to local time in the app. The physical location of a user can cause discrepancies in the deadline when searching for contests
Question: How soon will i know if it was approved?
Answer: A moderator from AnotherContestGroup will leave a comment on your contest journal once your contest is approved to let you know your contest now appears in the search results.
Question: The app is down.
Answer: The app is hosted at X10Hosting and there may be periods of down time caused by DDoS attacks, server migrations or similar. I apologize, but these temporary issues are outside my control. Sometimes the hosting provider will announce these issues in the [status] section of their page or users will report the problem in the [forums]

How did you get to submit this deviation through the "Applications" category? I'm just curious

There's a developer area dA released recently. When you publish an app through that area it comes up as an "Application". It's a non-standard submission process

You're welcome! Also I think the dAhub idea is awesome too! The only problem I have with it is if you're featured to get watches, sometimes people unwatch you when they get points. I used to do that before but now, I just try and get to know the people I watch, so it's not just for the points. And I make new friends! Thanks for this!

Un-watching is a problem and I'm working on a fix.
