Sorry, Andrei...although we appreciate your submitting logos, they just got in too late for us to really evaluate. I don't consider such late submissions (within the last hour of the contest) to be fair when compared to the artists who have slugged through the process with us. Your artwork is excellent, but after having managed about 20 campaigns in LT, the "strategy" of waiting until the very end to submit is not in the interest of the contest holder.
I'm sure it is possible that you had other circumstances and did not operate the late submissions as a strategy, but I just wanted to let you know why these were not ranked.
You're semi-right. I was on a break and when I got back I took up the contests from ending soon to 1-2 days left. It is your choice either to consider or not the entries. The thing is that after the open-phase you the the Top5. That's 2-3 days of contest. So it's not that late as you may think.
Still, I wouldn't bother you with why some designers chose to enter late. It should suffice to say that some of us don't like to be the muse for others. ;)
