Programming Submissions FAQ
What's on the second page of the submissions form?
The second page of the submission form (Step 2) asks for the name, fandom alias (if applicable), contact information, and a short biography of each presenter contributing to the proposal.
My abstract/bio/additional information has been cut off, why is it happening and what do I do?
If you are copying and pasting your proposal abstract, biography or additional information, the text may be truncated where there is use of quotation marks. To avoid this, one may replace a quotation mark (") with an asterisk (*).
After you have completed Step 2 of the submissions form, you have the chance to read over and confirm the information you have filled out is accurate and complete. Please read over your submission carefully. Should you find a mistake, or notice that something is incomplete, you may go back and change it.
Once you have submitted your proposal, you should receive a copy of the submission via e-mail. If, upon reading your submission, you discover that your submission is missing information, please contact us at formalprogramming@prophecy2007.org with the missing information and your name. If you have submitted more than one proposal, please specify the proposal to which you are referring.
If your proposal has been sent to us as incomplete, do not worry. You will be contacted and asked for the missing information. Every effort will be made to contact those who have submitted incomplete proposals in a timely fashion.
We apologize for any inconvenience this issue may cause.
