The Contest of Randomness

[Bloom]

Even if the contest starts tomorrow, a reasonable due date will be given in which entries will be due. Remember, it could take a fair amount of time for contestants to not only fabricate their unique creations, but for Bisharp and I to judge and decide on point distribution.

So even if you had a day late start, you should have a reasonable amount of time to submit your entry. The most common deadline is a week after the announced round, but it is all up to what pace Bisharp wants the contest to go.

Making high quality sprites do take a solid amount of time, Bisharp knows that and so he wouldn't give a reduced amount of time for submissions. Unless you were being tested on sprite making efficiency, you should have some time in your own spare time to work on your sprite. ^^ As Dawn would say, there is "no need to worry!"
