The shooting period is as stated below (and repeated here):
The open shooting period begins at 00:01 on Saturday September 18th
and ends at 24:00 on Sunday September 26th. Those times are
relative to the time zone the panorama is shot in. This gives you 9
full days to shoot your interpretation of "Crossroads".
The upload server will be open until I believe the 30th so we can go
live on the 1st and there will be a late-editing period after that and a
*really* late editing period after that for anyone that needs it and
asks me. The time period that *is* important is the shooting period, if
you don't shoot within that time period I can't accept it, the rest is
just getting it on the server and I'll always help anyone with that.
