    Alright schweet~ Does this mean though that only posts we contestants make AFTER this announcement count towards the competition? Or do we count all those that we've done since the original announcement?

    That's why we give everyone a minimum of two days per event!

    Handy tip, you can also click on the event closing time and it will take you to a site where you can compare it to your own timezone 😊
