To create her Expo entry, Ms. Zenith used a custom face skin manipulation, custom eyes made bloodshot red, and a custom shape. "I prefer minor tweaks to the face mesh rather than the often over-the-top expression defaults," she explains. To add she added custom eyebrows and animations ("four threaded to run consecutively through a gesture, over a base pose"). The final combined gesture Xellessanova calls "Go Cry Emo Kid".

...question reposted from the main contest announcement page... based on the contest rules...
So, I'm confused, the article says "Deadline is August 12th. No submissions accepted after that!"
But then it says "Uncanny Valley Expo 2007 will last until end of September or as long as submissions continue."
Are you taking submissions through the end of September, or was August 12th the cut off?

The submission process is over, but I'm still posting the entries I received by deadline.
