A question about contests and updates

Blog Posted by Tania Kitchin: 8/22/2025 3:47:00 AM

Does anyone know if it's possible to edit a contest once it's finalized? I tried to with my last contest and the system wouldn't let me.

Tania, you have a limited time to be able to re-open the contest, such as right after judging, hours later, maybe but not the next day, after that it will not let you, I have tried, blessings ~Constance

Go to your contest and click on the contest name, then unlock it and also click no on finalized - you should be able to edit it then unless you have started a new contest?

Okay, after you've closed your current contest and before you start another, try it then.

Craig, thank you. The system won't let me do any of that and yes, I have started a new contest. That may be the issue.

Not as far as I know. I think that once the contest is finalised, the sponsor is locked out to avoid "tampering" ... or something like that. Update: Yip! I tried one of my old ones, and it would not "Update".

Suzette, that's what I thought but wanted to check. Thank you.
