I looked all through description for the International Women’s Day Render Contest and I couldn't find how many submissions you can make. Is it limited to one? I can't find any info...

The contest rules (https://blog.daz3d.com/international-womens-day-contest-rules/) states that: There is no limit to the number of submissions per individual and you must fill in the information requested for each submission.
But it also said you can't submit over the limit by using different accounts. I guess I missed the part where it says no limit. Why would anyone try to use different accounts to go over the limit if there is no limit? Very confusing...
Also can we put our name/website/social media on it?
..still a little confused about image content.
Yeah, it is confusing. Like...does the figure need to be from Daz, or can I use a custom figure as long as she's wearing something from Daz? Can we kitbash a bunch of diffent Daz outfits into one? Are we able to use some stuff from other places? Like what if I want to do an image with a custom figure who wears a kitbashed Daz outfit and there happens to be a HiveWire Horse in the scene (rather than DH2)?
I always say, anything not specifically forbidden is allowed. Don't look for limitations that are not there. :)
imagining winning a 5 thousand dollar gc. lol
not enough to make me post to social media
The way I read it, the render has to include an item purchased at the Daz store, which is fair imo. Not everything has to be from the Daz store.
Anyway, if anyone's from Québec, you're not eligible. We never are.
I talk about Daz in my social media and make images on DA, but I kind of like keeping all that separate from things like contests.
(It's not like I don't say, "Try Daz" on pinned posts elsewhere. I just like to keep that other social media content separated in this weird era that we live in. Segregate all the contents because some day you will be cancelled because someone didn't like one thing they misinterpreted about you.)
So, yes, if Daz Gallery is good? Then I would prefer just to post to Daz Gallery.
You're already getting advertising from me on the regular in social media, anyway.
If one needs to vet my social media before approving a contest entry (which I probably wouldn't win anyhow)? Then, not interested.
...I was just a little confused by the two links in the rules that were suggestions. One was jsut photo images of the same pose and the other focused mainly on workplace situations.
Also as to the comment directly above, is DA OK as well, and if so how would one go to "pinning" to it other than just providing a link?
Just a heads-up regarding the maximum file size limit of 20 MB...
I tried to upload a 14.7 MB PNG image for my entry, but received an error message. I then tried a 7 MB JPG image and that uploaded successfully. My internet connection was fine, so I'm not sure if the problem is with the file size or file type.
... and ignore the rule that says "Follow Daz on the social platform of your choosing"?
BTW The social platform of my choosing is DeviantArt. And I will follow you there if there is an official Daz account.
Maybe I'm just dumb, but is there a way to see all the entries that have been entered, like a specific place to go, a method of calling up all the posts, may be a gallery that we can go to by name? I know that they are all tagged but I don't know how to use that, and I don't want to go to fifty different places and try to find them all over the internet. Besides, I don't want to see all the "made with daz" just the contest entries.
Thanks,
I wasn't going to enter because I didn't like my idea enough but I thought of a way to improve it and so I'll give entering a shot. I like to keep all my renders posted to one place and I've been using the DAZ Gallery. While that must change when I actually learn to animate because the DAZ Gallery doesn't support video (embedding links from Vimeo or YouTube would be nice!), for now I can continue using the DAZ Gallery.
I'm confused by this in the DAZ blog because the link says "create a new static render or animation".
So, are animations allowed or not?
And if they are, how are people posting them?
Where are the results listed? Did anybody locate a single source of all entries to view?
They posted on Facebook that they will announce the winners later this week.
I don't think there is a single place to look at all entries.
@sriesch Somebody told me this was posted on social media yesterday. (click on the bird thing at the bottom of the page)
"Our judges are narrowing down the winners of our International Women's Day render contest! Stay tuned - we'll announce the winners later this week."
@Hellboy - you can't post an animation to the DAZ Gallery so you would had to use twitter or FB or such. The animation would have to be 20 MB or less because you have to upload it directly to them too.
@sriesch - They originally said they'd have the contest judged by 6 Apr 2021 but I guess there were either more entries then they expected or ties at one or more levels of placing.
I only did a simple render with a short monologue by a fictional character as my entry and posted it to the DAZ Gallery.
<--waits patiently for results (taps fingers and toes)
here is an announcement I just saw on twitter, not sure how it will be communicat4ed here:

Wow...okay.
Yeah, saw that on Twitter earlier. Well, for sure they're women, and they're really nice renders, but I'm not getting an IWD vibe from them.
Congrats, anyway!
I think that's a military macaw by the way that bird is drawing blood from that lady's shoulder. They are native to the Amazonian rain forests but somewhat common as pets in other parts of the world. It may be a severe macaw. It's definately a macaw though. Since the contest was about female empowerment I'm guessing that it is a hen military macaw escaping a bad pet caregiver. No shots fired! Personally, I'm afraid to keep a macaw or any large parrots. Those beaks can crush a brazilnut as easily as I can drop an egg on concrete.
Glad I'm not the only one thinking this...
Is there any place to see the non winning entries?
So what was the theme supposed to be for 'International Women's Day'? The renders are of women...or were they supposed to show women holding guns or something to stand in as empowerment? I'm just confused...I thought the rule was just to enter renders of women...which these are.
I didn't enter, btw (I'm too paranoid about my stuff being good enough)...I'm just curious as to why there are issues with the winners.
It was ..."showcasing the strength and empowerment of women-identifying people."
