Thanks,
Adobe eLearning Team
I appreciate the change in submission format for the Fall challenge. It took a couple of tries to find which of my email accounts would allow the attachments for submission to the Summer challenge.
Please write to us at elshowcasechallenge@adobe.com you are still facing issue. We will surely try to assist you with your submission.
Sorry Avranil, I did not have any issues with submitting an entry for this event. I only meant, the submission method for this event was much easier than the summer event. I am grateful for how easy it was to enter.
Thanks for the feedback Noel! We will try to improve further. Feel free to drop in your suggestions to elshowcasechallenge@adobe.com
Just a quick question. Was the winner for the previous contest submission date chosen? If yes, where can I find the results?
Hi Piotr, Thanks for your query. Here is where we can see the results
Additionally we have also released a video of the top 10. You can view it here
I saw a comment elsewhere where someone was discouraged that people like “Paul Wilson” will likely win this contest so they weren’t going to bother. You should know that as an independent contractor of Adobe I’m ineligible to enter this contest so don’t let that stop you.
Adobe is against any form of discriminatory or favoritism to any or all of its endorsers. Our contests are judged at several levels by internal and external judges ( it is a legal policy we follow)
Please kindly write to us at elshowcasechallenge@adobe.com if anyone has any form of grievance. We will hear you patiently and there will be no retaliation.
I wouldn’t see anything bad about Paul winning the contest. There is no division (like in sport) into “ameteurs” and ” professionals”. Just have fun creating your projects!
I was just reading the eligibility rule for challenge, are there any possibility to participate for legal residents of Europe? In this or similar challenge? Thank you!
Thanks for posting. Currently we are only extending it to UK (except Northern Ireland). But we would roll it gradually to entire EU for our upcoming ones. The team is sorting out the legalities and norms, as they differ.
Please do not forget Switzerland. Not in the EU, but it is the European country in which I currently live and work. I look forward to entering soon.
Thanks for your comment. Only after reading it, did I realize that according to official rules the contest is not for Europe. I find it really strange in the age of global village. I was wondering, what is the reason for excluding anybody in the world from the contest? In this case Adobe acts as a local (sic!) company. I guess it operates worldwide so why should anybody be thrown out of the contest? And I’m not talking about the possibility of winning the prize. For me it’s not important at all. Just the act of participation would be great.
It would have been great if we could have downloaded the Challenge entries that were showcased on the Adobe Project site. If I’m correct, the main page that catalogues all examples mentions the courses listed can be downloaded and reused – a tad confusing. Thanks
Let me get back to you on this one! Thanks for asking.
Hi PeeMAC, thanks for your query. The projects uploaded by the contestants are not made public yet as we are still gathering the permissions from the contributors. It will be posted and notified once we have the approvals in place. We are legally bound to safeguard the properties from misuse or plagiarism due the contest period and the cooling period thereafter. We understand the Preview. Download. Reuse is a tad confusing due to this restriction. But apart from the contest projects every other part of the projects page is downloadable. We will try to revise the information for upcoming events to clear this. Hope you would understand this and cooperate.
I submitted my microlearning with gamification entry to this contest and never heard back if the files were received or not. Hopefully next time the response to participants will be more robust.
Paula, apologies for the delay. We were able to upload your project successfully. Hope this one is addressed now.
