My entry was removed from the submissions?

My game Lost and Found was removed from the submissions and I'm not sure why. I checked over all the rules and don't think I broke any. I have screenshots, it's tagged josei, and I started working on it after the jam started. I'd really appreciate it if someone could explain why it was removed so I can avoid doing that again if I participate in another jam in the future. 

I did update the game recently to add more to it that I didn't have time to before the jam was over (pronoun selection and epilogues), and then about an hour ago someone let me know I forgot to check the box next to one of the files to say it was mac so I updated that, but I didn't see anything saying I couldn't do that on the jams page. This was my first time participating in any jam, so I'm sorry if I did something wrong, or if this isn't the place to ask this. I just wasn't sure where else to go and didn't want to make the same mistake again in the future. 

Jam Host

Hello, one of the hosts here!

The removals happened because during the time where we checked entries, we removed those that were either missing screenshots or the Josei tag as mentioned. We sent out emails to all participants as well, mentioning the removals of entries and to contact us via Discord to receive a link to resubmit them with the fulfilled requirements as we cannot share said link openly.

Oh dear, I had both of those, but I never got an email. Just checked to make sure and the only emails I got were about the survey and a link to the discord server saying it was to stay up to date on the news for the next jam. Nothing about my game being removed. Could you send me the email again, or let me know who to message on discord for the link?

Jam Host

You might have checked the Otome Jam version of the email, since the Josei Jam email specifically mentioned submission removals. All participants of Josei Jam were emailed.

We did not name or email specific devs, as it would have been too many to message. You can contact either me, Akua (akua_kourin on Discord, Mod of Otome Development) or Arimia (Mod and Admin of Otome Development).

Okay that makes sense! I'll send a message later today. Thanks again!
