quick question for anyone else who entered, how long does it take for your story to show up? im not sure but i think my web browser may have timed out, and it wont let me enter in my info/story again because i did once. im not sure if it saved the story part though, since my confirmation email came in before i had written my story

EDIT: Nevermind, just read the Contest Details. It says it takes up to 3 business days for pictures to be approved.
The top prize is a 2010 GT coupe with $16,471 in tax money!!
I like how they have some stories from the Force family on there

Ain't that the truth. I'm really pissed at the flash. Not only was it hard and painstaking to submit, but when you're looking at all the stories its complex and overdone. You cant see half the pictures on that page because of how the perspective thing makes so many of the pics small. And on top of that you cant even see all the thumbnails that are available in the first place.

I agree completely. It looks nice and all, and it probably was a good idea on paper...but it just doesn't work out. I can only imagine how many people just gave up because of how hard it is to submit and review the stories.

Has anyone taken the time to read any of the stories? They're terrible! I know not everyone is the next Hemingway but if I was trying to win a car I might put a bit more effort into it than most of these show. Most of them sound like they were written by a dyslexic 8 year old.
The worst part is I can't even submit because it's not open to residents of Canada! Maybe Ford of Canada has their own contest, haha!

Thanks Nathan
But I still don't see mine when I'm scrolling around. I used the arrows, but It still won't show all the pictures. That, I guess, is another problem with the site.. It's not consistent on different computers/browsers/etc

I had to search for yours to find it. I tried putting in an entry myself, but I don't know if it took it or not. It froze when I tried to submit it, and then I lost it. I got an email that said thanks for registering, but I don't know if that was for the right thing or what. I'm confusing myself!
