Hi Suyash,
Thank you for your email and work on WLM India.
We rarely grant extensions to countries and the main reason for it is that
the jury coordinator in the international team (in this case, myself) needs
enough time to be able to process all photos and follow due process before
the start of the international jury. Giving you a few extra hours (an
additional 12 hours, so that you submit by no later than 11.59am UTC on 1st
November) would be manageable, but 3 days extension is very hard to
accommodate at this point, as in: we cannot guarantee that we can accept
the late nominations, however, of course, if we can afford to spend time on
those late submissions prior to the start of the international jury
process, we will accept them and process them, but you will be dealing with
the risk that they won't be accepted.
My strong recommendation is that you work with your jury to finalise the
top 10 nominations today local time to stay on the safe side and ensure
that your nominations will make it to the international competition.
In summary, if you submit by 11:59am UTC on 1 November, we will be able to
accept your nominations. If you submit later than that, we will only accept
them if we are able to do so, but this will be at the risk that we will be
unable to accept them.
Best regards,
Neville

Dear Neville
Greetings from India!!
To introduce myself, I am Suyash & I am one of the coordinators of WLM
India
I have been regularly keeping myself updated on the latest of WLM &
working accordingly with my team to meet the 31st October Deadline.
Till 3 days back we have been on track with our evaluations & were
supposed to submit the Top 10 images by 31st October.
In the last 3 days, we have faced many technical issues which also
includes a brilliant lineup of Top 16 images which we shortlisted with the
Montage tool.
The team including the jury is over-shooting the deadline over finalizing
the actual top 10 images & still there is a lot of discussion happening
over the images.
The way it is going, we might go beyond our deadline by 2-3 days. I am
planning to discuss this more thoroughly with the team & jury & try to push
this through to give the Top 10 images by 2nd November.
I hope you understand the reason for the delay because the jury & the team
want to give its best entries to the international team.
I hope you could give us the extension permission & I assure you that we
will give our top 10 entries latest by 3rd November 11:59pm(IST)
Regards
U:Suyash.dwivedi
