Hello, I submitted an event's 2020 award and 4 nominations on Sunday, Jan 26.  According to this page...

https://contribute.imdb.com/times

...every award/nomination submission of that age has already been processed. 
Not seeing my films (   ) on the relevant page (https://www.imdb.com/event/ev0003720/2020/1),  I wonder if my submission was rejected. 

Maybe the Data Processing Times page is incorrect, and I should wait another week to see if things change. 

I'm thinking it's award season, and the IMDb team is very busy handling this, plus there a lot of ppl out with the flu.

I apologize for bothering everyone about this.  I look forward to getting some insight, and thanks again for all you do!

I'm not sure if awards contributions are listed here, but it's worth a check:

and

Thanks, I'll check!

...Not on the first link.  The second link seems to list *all* contribs, but gives no tracking/status re: awards. 

:D

Has anyone any ideas on what I did wrong? Or should I wait longer and not panic?

Can I assume you provided a reliable external source to corroborate the awards within the Contribution?

Thanks, yes I did. http://www.topindiefilmawards.com, the festival's site. Here's my entire submission. The form's comments section doesn't get emailed to us so I'm adding a screenshot of an example. 



I've had trouble with one or two award submissions in the past when the festival fails to name a person, just listing the film name.  Naturally the director wants the laurel most of the time but when it's a craft award like actor, editing, sound or music, the appropriately credited person should get it, I think. Usually this is not a problem.

Since I'm not seeing any new ideas, I just now corrected everything in the form that I think might be a problem, and resubmitted it.  I must have done *something* wrong the first time. Yesterday I submitted a win from a different festival and it's already on my pages today (amazing!), also on a producer's page with whom I shared it (so sharing the award/nominations in this case was probably *not* a problem). Fingers crossed! 
:D
