The challenge description says it may be archival but it can be shot now also...but in the thick box says it must be till 12th. of February. I hope someone can clarify the confusion. Mine was taken today and I hope I won't be disqualified for that.
I had the same issue, I just fudged the date so it would be accepted, figuring the refusal is an error and the shot will be validated by the site council if neccessary.
