Tips:
If you have multiple files to upload to a category you can do a batch upload of your files. Install this program called iBulc (www.ibulc.com ) on your computer. Follow the installation instructions.

Once installed when you log back into your account click the batch upload tab after you open the upload window. Select the category and click the upload button. Using the iBulc interface select the files you wish to enter into that category and push the upload button. Repeat this step for each category you entries.

Multiple feature submissions must have the same filename and number+1. IE: image1, image2, image3.....ect.
