Why Was My Entry Moved to a Different Category?

Our review team periodically reassesses entries to ensure they are competing in the most suitable categories. If we find that your entry aligns better with the criteria of another category, we’ll move it automatically. This adjustment helps your entry be evaluated alongside others with similar strengths and focus.

Will This Affect My Chances of Becoming a Finalist?

Yes, but in a positive way. Moving your entry to a more appropriate category is designed to increase its chances of being recognized. By placing your entry where it can truly stand out, we help enhance its potential to reach finalist status.

What If I Didn’t Want My Entry Changed?

We understand that you might have selected a specific category for your entry. However, our team makes these adjustments carefully, with the goal of improving your entry’s chances of success. The change is final and made in your best interest.

Is There Anything Else I Need to Do?

No further action is needed from you. The category adjustment is handled entirely by our team, ensuring your entry is where it can best compete. If your entry advances to the finalist stage, you’ll receive a separate notification.
