So sorry for any confusion. The deadline was 13 Jan, 2022 at 11:59 UTC — however we misrepresented this initially so we will be counting all submissions that we receive through 7:59 AM UTC on January 14

12 Jan? 😟
I haven't yet submitted and the post was (is) saying till 13th Jan.
And I can see people submitting after 12th as well.

So sorry. I have made a few errors here. Corrected my comment to reflect the correct information. The important thing is that your project will be counted as long as we received it through 7:59 AM UTC on January 14

Kindly consider the posts till 11:59PM PT as this was due to the confusion of the dates. As we all have spent many hours on buildling the useful applications.
