Would Not Accept

The survey is broken. When I submitted it, it said:

"Your survey response was not accepted. We already have a response for this account on file."

Anyone else have this problem?

please send in your error via the feedback form and I'll take a look. The survey will only accept one entry per computer.

I have the same problem... I'm pretty sure no one else entered the contest from my computer because I'm at home and I have a fixed IP address in my connection. It may be a transparent proxy server on the ISP. This is going to cause lots of problems...

I already submitted it and put down what I thought to be the most relevant things, but are the judges looking more for a certain day, series of events, or even something over the course of a year?
Mine is drawn out over the last year of highschool.

I don't think you understand the gravity of the situation. We're in space.

Is this only for the US or for anyone, anywhere?

Hi,

I believe I read that the entry will be randomly
selected, so comments should not impact chances
of winning.
