I have set my portfolio to private. Can the judges view the projects?

Is it possible to submit something that has also been entered into another competition?

Yes, if it's useful to get feedback on the piece.
Thanks!

Um... how do you publish a document please? I've put a couple of things in my portfolio and it tells me they haven't been published yet, but I can't see how to do it. From the previous comments it looks like they have to be published in order for the judges to see them.

If you go to your portfolio, click "Edit", then if you hover over the individual items of content you can publish using the 'eye' icon.
Thanks!

Hi, I am not entirely confident that I have uploaded my entry properly so that it is viewable by the judges...? Is there a way that you could confirm whether I have or not please?

Hello, you have uploaded your short story to your portfolio but you must publish it in order for the judges to view it. To do this, go to your portfolio, click "edit", then if you hover over the item, you can publish it using the eye icon.
Thanks!

I'm trying to do exactly this but when I hover on the eye icon it won't let me click to publish?

Hello,
Have you tried doing this in another web browser (e.g. Firefox or Chrome)?
Thanks!

didn't work either so added a new doc with the same title but with the addition of 'public' in the title, can you confirm this is ok.

I've pasted the web address on the portfolio page into the application form that requests this - can you also confirm I've done this correctly. thanks

If there are multiple short stories in my portfolio, how will STW know which one I am submitting? I assume we're only allowed to submit one each?

You could create a new portfolio set with the one specific story and label it, or simply title the specific story with "Spread the Word" entry - try to make it as clear as possible.
Thanks!

Would it be appropriate to submit a children's story?

There is no restriction on genre, so yes. Thanks!

Hi
Is there a minimum word count? I'm working on a short story but it will definitely be a long way short of 5000 max. I'd rather submit something else than pad it out.
Thanks

There is no minimum but you cannot submit an extract. Thanks!

Is this brief open to those outside the UK? I'm from Ireland...

This opportunity is for UK-based writers (as IdeasTap is a UK-based charity, as is Spread the Word). Thanks!

does whatever i enter have to be published in the portfolio and available to the public?
nobodytrue , Writer , 05/08/14 , 435 AP

It needs to be published, but you can set your portfolio to private (but unchecking the box on the privacy settings page) so that only judges can view it.
Thanks!

No, you can choose whether or not to publish and select privacy setting so only the judges can view. A number of my uploads on Ideastap are private.

Could you explain how to create a private upload to an otherwise public portfolio? I'm not seeing an obvious way. Thanks.

me neither. Any help would be good showing how to allow one item on the portfolio to be private.

At the moment, you can either choose for your whole portfolio to be private or public - not individual pieces of content.
You can always change between the two, however, if you wanted to add specific private content for one brief and then revert back.
Thanks!
