Are we supposed to receive some kind of confirmation that the entry has been received? Since we can't view the incoming folder on the server.

i don't know, but i've asked myself too that question. another one is, can we know how many submissions were made in each category, or at least overall.

hi. so there is no chance we know how many submissions were made in each category?

The total number of submissions was much lower than expected based on the number of emails I got from people indicating that they were going to enter. We're considering extending the deadline if doing so would allow for more submissions.

well, i don't think that's right, because we hurried to finish our projects, maybe neglecting other ones that we had to do, and now there is an extension. maybe there must be another contest than an extension, or to extend it a month ago. anyway, i'm not in charge to decide it, just an opinion(although, from what i've seen in the aftermath thread, there was enough time to do something cool for everybody).

I wouldn't mind an extension. I'd even whip up another entry, depending on how long the extension was. I've had a good time with this mobile phone game programming and would certainly be up for another go.
