I am just wondering if there is a reason I can't add to the showcase? Do you need a certain number of pics under your belt to be able to add? It didn't come up as an option. Or is it just a glitch?

After clicking on the submit button, you will have options under your drawing. One of them is to enter it into Showcase. You can go back, click on your drawing and the option will be there again. Good luck, Raych.

No, all i have is vote and make profile pic. Not the little box for add to showcase that i have seen on a friend's page.

The showcase closed the 9th I believe or was suppose to close then. It is usually run just for a limited time for each showcase.

The thing at the bottom of the showcase page says 16th march is closes. *shrug*

might just be a glitch. it's ok. i'll keep checking and add them later if it lets me.

Did you click on 'edit' first? After you've already submitted, you must click 'edit', then the showcase option will come up. Good luck!

i have clicked edit, still no luck. It doesn't have the showcase option. I am doomed to be without shocase entry! Doesn't really bother me that much, was just an interesting glitch.

...Rachel will take care of you...

I have had the same problem if I didn't click on showcase before I submitted. On the showcase page we have now it says it goes to the 9th I don't know why it says the 16th for others.

Oh, I see it says the 16th, I was seeing the 09 for 2009 and thinking it was the 9th. I submitted my last entry the 9th in a hurry thinking I had to midnight, lol. I was wondering why some were still submitting and getting in the showcase.

I e-mailed Rachel one or two weeks ago about submitting an already done pic but to this date have not received an answer one way or the other.

I think I would just submit it to the gallery and ask Rachel to submit these pictures to the showcase for you.

That was my request in the e-mail that wasn't answered.

I've never been able to see the Showcase option after once submitting a piece either.

So... I took to automatically entering 'em all, AND fudging the title logic .

Rachel will eventually kick out the ones she truly doesn't want in there. Sometimes within minutes, more usually a few hours. I've only really disagreed with her decision once... and I chose not to write to her to ask for reinstatement.

The thing is, if I'm lucky, I'll have thought the whole thing through rather well before I created it. SOME drawings, however, just... er... happen. Grow. Evolve.

By the time I finish a drawing I'm usually tired and stupid. After a little sleep --and comparison to others' pieces-- I may THINK a little differently about what message it can carry.

We can change the titles... multiple times, even... which is great for that THINK part of ThinkDraw.

I figure the post-submit Showcase entry feature is slightly broken. I'm just hoping she won't feel compelled to "fix" the issue by taking away our ability to re-name, like 'fixing' our ability to switch palettes mid-drawing.

As for submitting previously done work, the site will only allow recent work into the showcase. They give you a few days leeway (about a week or so before the date the showcase opens I think) but anything done before that is not eligible.
