Entry statuses explained

You have the choice of the following statuses for each entry:

• Draft — the applicant is working on the entry and submission is pending;
• Submitted — the applicant has submitted the entry but it has not yet been approved as successful and is not eligible for voting; 
• Approved — you have approved the entry as successful; Note that this is the only status that makes an entry eligible for voting;
• Changes requested — you have requested changes to the entry which need to be made before the submission deadline; this status allows you to give optional feedback to the entrant.
• Rejected — you have rejected the entry, meaning, it is unsuccessful based on its content, failure to meet criteria, etc.
• Resubmission requested — you have requested resubmission of the entry, including after the submission deadline; this status allows you to give optional feedback to the entrant. 
• Canceled — the entry has been canceled, meaning, it is deactivated from the program but exists as a record for reference if needed.
