Lighthouse posted an update that the new date is June 15th (under announcements).

I think his/her complaint is that it was kind of late notice to extend the judging date on the supposed last day of the contest. While I'm not exactly in a froth about it, I do think it was a tad shoddy. If you're overwhelmed by entries, you likely know that with 2, 5, or even 10 days to go. Waiting until the day of the winner announcements to announce an extension strikes me as mildly incompetent...but I might be the only one who feels that way.
It's no great shakes but I'm not even putting this on Lighthouse's shoulders...I suspect the ball was dropped at a higher level and he's merely the messenger in this instance.

You are definitely not the the only one who feels this way!
If you look at how many people don't even know if their entry went through and the total lack of respect extended to the people who worked hard on their entries then 'shoddy' doesn't even come close to describing the way this event was run (although it does kind of rhyme with a word that does).
I also agree that if they now need an additional 3 weeks to review all the entries it's not like they discovered this at 8:00 PM on the day that they were supposed to be done. It feels like the last guy out of the shop was shutting off the lights and suddenly remembered that there was some small detail that was overlooked - hmmmmm.....
Many people put a lot of effort into this contest - it's a shame that it feels like that is not recognized.
