Song Contest and Critique Status Manager
December 2nd, 2009 by Lior ShamirNext week, we’re launching our proprietary user management system. Big words for a small organization!
Think of it as your personal song contest and critique status manager and editor, accessible by clicking on My Account (at the top right of every page on our site).
What is a Status?
We assign a status to your contest submission or critique the second your transaction is complete. For contests, your status is Received until the contest deadline. After the deadline, it’s In Review for up to 30 days. Within 30 days, at the point that the judges have made their final selections, you receive a final status: Not Selected, Runner Up, Finalist or Winner.
With critiques, it’s simpler. As soon as you purchase your critique, your entry is In Review. When the reviewer has completed the critique (within 14 days), the status is Complete.
Why is Status important?
1. So you can self-edit your entries.
For example, if you had trouble uploading your song file, wish to make changes to your lyric or even want to substitute your entire contest submission, as long as your status is Received, you can! And you can do it in just a couple of clicks by logging into your account.
2. So you can keep a record of your important communications with us.
When we assign your final status (Not Selected, Runner Up, Finalist or Winner) or complete your critique, we notify you via email. As of next week, these emails will be saved in your account, along with every single detail associated with your contest entry or critique.
How do I access these details?
By clicking on Details on the right of each contest or critique item in your account!
If a final status has been assigned to your contest entry (Not Selected, Runner Up, Finalist or Winner) you can click on that to view the email that was sent to you, by whom and when.
Why did we go to the trouble?
1. So you have total control over and insight into the service that you are paying us for.
2. So you no longer need to depend on emails from us. We will continue sending them, you can be sure of that, but all the information you can possibly wish to have about your contest entry or critique will be at your fingertips.
