So I spent many hours working on my piece for the over world map challenge.(My Entry for Challenge) It was a fun and difficult challenge for me. However, when I first submitted my piece the website glitched and submitted twice. I noticed this and after a bit I manually deleted one of the copies. However, I got a rejection message saying it needs revision due to multiple copies and clutter and what not. I was mildly annoyed, and nervous because the deadline was approaching, but I resubmitted and hoped for the best. However, when I woke up today, I got another rejection message.

This was for the over world map challenge. My understanding of a challenge is that time is a component of what makes it a challenge. Of course my piece could be better if I had unlimited time, or if I was a better artist in general. But, the point of a challenge is to get better and push yourself. I was quite satisfied with my piece within the confines of a challenge entry when I submitted it. I do not think the quality was out of place for the challenge. There could be more transition tiles for better polishing, or I could simply be a better artist, but that seems like an unfair reason to lock me out as its part of the challenge.

TLDR: I spent many hours working on a an entry for the over world map challenge, to get it to a presentably level before the deadline. I feel I erroneously received the needs revision message, and I would like my piece to be entered in the challenge if possible.(My Entry for Challenge)

I am unsure of what made some other Mod decide the entry did not meet the challenge :/

Challenges are automated so we cannot add/remove once deadline is reached.

I totally believe you worked hard and if I had seen it I would have added your pixel but if you submitted duplicated then maybe that explains things.

Keep at it and take time to review the sticky reads in the link on my sig for basic info on pixelart.

In the future opening a WIP thread for some feedback before submitting is also helpful and safe :)

Well the first time I submitted the site bugged and submitted twice, but I deleted one of them. And still it got rejected for duplicate, I then resubmitted it because the deadline was still not quite over, but I woke up today to it being rejected again.

Yea I want to use the wip thread but a lot of times I don't get much to show finished until the end of the week and there's not much time before deadline.

Well that's pretty discouraging, thanks for the reply though.
