Did you share your idea with the SXSW PanelPicker community before the July 15 deadline? Good work! Still thinking about the little tweaks that could turn that proposal from ho-hum to awesome? If so, get on it and make your edits this week, before the 11:59pm CDT deadline on Friday, August 5!

Unsure how to access your proposal form? After beginning your proposal, you should have received an email from panelpicker@sxsw.com with editing instructions. If you don't see it, check your spam or bulk folder and add panelpicker@sxsw.com to your address book. This email contains an edit URL unique to your specific proposal. If you did not receive this URL, please see http://panelpicker.sxsw.com/users/edit/#proposals to access your proposal. (Make sure you are logged into your PanelPicker account first.)

Did you save your proposal? If you have saved your proposal, the box in the top right corner reading "MY PROPOSAL IS COMPLETE. VALIDATE THE FORM NOW AND SEND MY IDEA" should be checked. If the box in the top right corner is not checked, your proposal has not yet been saved. So make sure to check the box and click on the "Save my Proposal" button.

More questions? Don't forget to check out the PanelPicker FAQ. This is a very, very important resource and can likely answer most, if not all, of your PanelPicker questions. This FAQ also contains great tips for PanelPicker success.

Next up....get ready for SXSW PanelPicker community voting beginning August 15!
