@starakat I think you just need to e-mail your video or pictures. I don't believe that uploading the sculpt is a requirement of the contest -- at least that hasn't been a requirement of previous contests. Depending upon the size of your sculpt file and your upload bandwidth, it can take a long time to upload a file to your gallery. Did the upload fail with an error?

I'm in the same boat. Got #coral, which I think is code for - sculpt too big. I just emailed the entry anyway

yeah you only have to "Submit three (3) photos and/or a (1) 20-second video of your final sculpt" as I can imagine it would take too long to download and view all entries in VR! 🙂 

I just sent over my photos and videos in the nick of time! Trying to upload now so fingers crossed it works.

Edit: Yep got hit with #coral too  😄

There wasn't an error, it said it was added to uploads but then nothing happened.

Tried to share my sculpt again and got an error message this time about Medium not being able to move the files. #azure  Anyone know how to resolve this one? @DeadlyJoe

I'm not sure what the #azure error is, sorry. @MattHickman or @"naomi.cornman" will know.

Hey guys! All your monsters have been submitted for vote. Sharing to our website gallery or Facebook was not a requirement for this contest, so you're all in the clear! 

#azure is Medium having trouble moving or saving asset from one file to another. When you save, we create a temp folder then write to your directory. Check that you have admin rights to your temp folder. Also can be that there is something with the same name in your directory and is having trouble writing over it. 
#coral is Medium unable to share to the website, usually because your sculpt is over 400MB, which is all we can handle at the moment. 😕
