Revell / Gearz contest question

[Bruno]

Hi erveryone! I sent my pictures for the Revell / Gearz contest yesterday and still have not received the confirmation email from Revell. Am I the only one? Have you guys received that confirmation email?

I am wondering if I should try again...

[Dr. Cranky]

I never received any confirmation for last year . . . then again I sat out this year.

[moparmagiclives]

I'll let you know when I get mine done tonight and submited tomorrow...nothing like waiting till the last min right

[BKcustoms]

Did you shrink the pic size down to 2 MB? If not they won't go through.

[Bruno]

Yes, all the pics were less than 2mb

[BKcustoms]

I tried to submit my pics last night and it just kept trying to submit for 2 hours with no success

[mopar01lee]

Well I submitted mine lastnight an didn't get an email....

Same here. I tried submitting twice Sunday, once through Chrome and once through IE, and never went to the "Thank You" page or got a confirmation email. I sent an email asking if the size for each picture needed to be less than 2M or if it meant the total for all pictures, and I haven't heard anything back.

I imagine they're getting swamped with the end date being today, but with this being the second year, this should really be more streamlined.

[BKcustoms]

I'm trying again now.....

[BKcustoms]

I give up, the website keeps freezing.

[moparmagiclives]

The deadline is "on" or before the 15th right ???

[rhs856]

Yes.

Edit: Has anyone successfully submitted? What browser were you using? How many pictures did you submit? What size were they?

It went to the "Thank you" page for me, no email yet. Just entered a couple minutes ago.

Oh, and all my images were around 500 KB.

I wonder if the total combined size for all pictures can't be over 2M. It really isn't clear.

[mopar01lee]

I got to the thank you page. An I uploaded 5 pics around 250kb. An 400kb....

[KevinMoparFord]

I got to the thank you page and that was last week. Never did get an email.

[The70judgeman]

Wasn't sure if I really wanted to enter the contest, but tried to submit the info and pics anyway to see what would happen. Didn't get past the entry page though. Looked like it was going and then went back to a blank entry form.

If that's the case then that blows...that's only 200 kb a piece!

[rhs856]

I hear you! I was impressed that I was able to get them below 2M! How are the judges going to read the odometer?

[moparmagiclives]

5 pics, at up to 2mb each it says.

[Bruno]

I got the "thank you" page when I sent my pics, just not received the confirmation email. I see I am not the only one who has not received that email.

Let's just hope everything is ok and they got our pics.

Good luck everyone!

I'm not a computer expert by any means,but it seems like Revell could have an auto sizer on the contest form.

After all they require us to by new models that are on the list for the contest.

I didn't have a problem with that but I did have problems loading them on to the contest form.

Yes I did get mine through,however I almost gave up like others have.

And to give up entering after all the money and time is spent in building a car for the contest sucks.

Theres no where that I saw where you could tell them about the work you put in to the kit for those of us who entered detailed kits either.

Maybe if some Revell Reps read this topic they can fix these problems and make it better for the next contest.

I know this much though if I enter it next time,my photos will be down sized to 2MB or less early in the game.

[Geordi08]

Given that it seams that no one got a thank you email, myself included, then they are at least consistent. Maybe the question should now be did anyone get anything?

[BOSWELL891]

There is a link to an auto sizer on the contest form I will have to use it all my pics are over 2mb

I used that link on the contest form to get mine down sized the way they wanted.

It still should be set so that we just have to load our photos and forget it.
