I'm just wondering as one of the posters who attempted to send and then got contrary messages about submissions being accepted if anyone would care to set our minds at rest...
I also entered the competition, but I got an email confirming my entry the next day. Perhaps you better call or email somebody as I’ve rarely seen the production team answering on here. Judging (apparently) finishes next Monday – so I’d be quick about it too.
Been away for work but finally day - 3 days of no email and hands were beginning to shake!!Just emailed an enquiry and got the following response so all looks well!!
