Please allow resubmitting after contests are over
I worked for 20 hours on an animation for the Galaxy Of Celebrations contest. In the description, a single o in someone’s name was not capitalized, and they denied my submission. Since I had work to do, I was up very late perfecting the stop motion. I submitted it and then went to sleep. I wake up and suddenly the post has been denied and there is no way that I could resubmit because it was past the deadline of the contest. I don’t know a lot about working at LEGO ideas and what you can do but couldn’t you just open submission for one person? You could only open for another 2-3 days so they couldn’t just make something completely new or upgraded. You also know they have a completed submission that you denied, they just need to change one more thing. Please take this into consideration, for all the people who spent hours making tedious LEGO works of art, working until the last hour, and then forgetting to put a period at the end of their paragraph.

Maybe when your project is rejected after the deadline of a contest you are given a set amount of time, maybe 1-2 days, to resubmit the rejected project. You cannot resubmit the project past this second deadline.

I also got the same result when I participated in the Africa Future Technology competition. The quality of the photos did not meet the standards that the review team did not specify in detail. I received the notification after the competition deadline. Photo quality, really ironic. The only thing that makes me feel better is that I don't think I'm the only contestant who suffers from this misrepresentation. To be honest, Lego would just say no, no need to be kind enough to ask me to hand in the photos again. Clearly the reviewers can't review quickly, and clearly the reviewers know that when I get the notification, the deadline has passed. I've turned in my photos three days early, and it's great that I now have a DRAFT to commemorate the infinite regrets of my first entry.
