My submission wasn't in the top 5 or honorable mentions. One of the judges mentioned they weren't sure if my character fit the job requirement. Is it possible the entry was disqualified? Is there a way to know if it was or wasn't disqualified? It changes the meaning of the feedback.

Having been DQed before, there will be an additional note at the bottom of your feedback that will tell you that you were disqualified and why.

If there is not that at the bottom of your feedback they you weren't 'officially' DQ, but the judge may have scored you low, giving you a DQ in their dark evil black heart.
