[LisaF]

Thanks for submitting everybody!! This is gonna be a tough one We'll be convening the next Critique Arena this coming Thursday, July 8 at 2pm MST. More details soon!

[Melissa_Bailey]

@ruth thanks so much! Since I love wombats, I jumped at the chance of designing my very own wombat character. (Diary of a Wombat is one of my favorite picture books, so I was definitely inspired by Bruce Whatley's Mothball -- and tried not to copy!)

@Isabel-Reyes-Feeney @Oana I don’t think I can see your submissions in the critique arena page carousel. Have a check as it sometimes skips images when I look at it but I’m sure they are missing.

Hello everyone, nice to meet you all! I had so much fun with this challenge!!! This is my first submission ever, what do you think?

I submitted this at the end on wednesday night. Since it's the first time I do it, I'm not sure if I did everything correctly...is it normal that not all submissions are visible on the Critique Arena website?

I loved to see all of the different interpretations here! Really amazing works!

[Oana]

@lizardillo You are right, I had some technical issue the first time I submitted (I wrote about it in this topic) ... then I tried again some hours later, I was still in time, the page worked well, no ideea why it still did not appear... I already wrote an email but received no answer... I don't like to fuss too much but it would be a bummer to miss the challenge this way Other had a similar problem I see, hope it gets sorted

[Oana]

@LisaF Hi! Some of the entries posted at the last moment (mine included) seem not to be updated on the Critique arena entries display... should I be worried the submit upload failed, or they just haven't been updated on the display page? Thanks!

[Katie Carling]

@Oana mine is not up yet either. This happened last month too but then it was up by the time of critique arena. I think they just haven't updated all of the entries yet. It took a week last time, I bet it's just fine. Have a great weekend!!

[Mariana B.]

@Katie-Carling thank you! This is my first challenge and it has been super fun!!

[Gaelle Grizzly]

@JasperS Thanks a lot . I really appreciate your feedback: it's good to know what works well
