We should clarify the "deadline rules" next year, and make clear that there will be a bot with an axe for any image whose upload wasn't finished before midnight.
(LoL, bots with axes)
I like: * the idea of clarifying rules * the idea of having a "hurry up" template * very much like the idea of adding a template instead of removing one. We did that for the monuments which where not in our list.
About people which started uploading an image before the end of the contest but finishing after midnight, if there is a simple (and only if it simple enough!) way to understand if this is the case for a given picture I think we should allow them. I say this because AFAIK the standard, at least in Italy, in contests where some transfer of documents is involved (through postal service) the deadline is placed on the sending date (and precisely, the postmark "certifies" the date of sending).
