ACOT runs on EST. If you need a little help converting your local time to EST, use this clock
[blockquote]
As a gesture of common courtesy, and to allow everyone ample time in the “spotlight” (page 1 of the gallery), we ask that you do not upload more than 4 layouts per day. Thank You!
[/blockquote]the gallery will always have this friendly message across the top, about the upload limit per day. Of course a crop is a special circumstance and you can IGNORE it for this weekend.
I did not think that a message literally popped up disabling you from submitting additional entries. I could very well be wrong. If you are in fact getting an error message when attempting to upload more than the suggested daily limit, then you need to post in the website help forum so out tech guy can help you asap.
PLEASE NOTE--- RED X
the gallery has been acting funny and when uploading an image, it will appear as a little RED X instead of showing your image thumbnail. THIS IS OKAY! your image is uploaded correctly, there is just a problem with the thumbnail view during the submission process. CONTINUE to fill out your submission and click Submit. Your image should appear in the gallery just fine. I've also noticed that after clicking Submit, it will direct me back to the gallery homepage instead of the image I just submitted. To find your submissions, click on one of these links by the side:

Before we can get to the fun stuff we have the boring old drill... the crop rules and general information. Please take a moment to read it through.
ACOT crops are open to all scrappers and welcome both traditional paper and digital entries.
Certain challenges may contain special requirements for one or both forms of scrapbooking, please read each challenges directions carefully.
Challenges
Layouts must be new, original creations by yourself, and must NOT have been previously published or entered in any other challenge or contest outside of ACOT.
Layouts can be any size you’re currently working on. Please, no smaller than 8X8.
Layouts must include pictures, unless otherwise stated.
Layouts cannot be entered into multiple challenges. Each crop challenge requires a new layout for submission. Entering multiple layouts into one challenge will not increase your chance of winning. Your name will only be entered once.
Each challenge will have a paper and digital winner, if applicable.
Each challenge will have a corresponding category in the gallery. Please pay close attention to where you are uploading your challenges. Your layout will not be eligible if it's placed in the wrong category.
Questions about a challenge should be directed to the Creative Team Member who posted THAT challenge.
All challenge layout entries are due by midnight, 11:59 PM EST, Monday August 30.
Fast Scraps
Fast Scrap challenges are mini projects that can be completed within the hour allotted at the posting of that Fast Scrap.
Entries must meet all requirements of the Fast Scrap as posted.
Entering multiple projects for a Fast Scrap will not increase your chance of winning. Your name will only be entered once.
Each Fast Scrap will have a corresponding category in the gallery. Please pay close attention to where you are uploading your project, it will not be eligible if it's placed in the wrong category.
