 WAIFF Seoul 2026 출품 마감 안내


WAIFF Seoul 2026 출품 접수는 2월 10일 23시 59분(KST)을 기준으로 공식 마감되었습니다.


마감 직전 다수의 이용자가 동시에 접속하면서 일부 이용자 환경에서 일시적인 로딩 지연이 발생할 수 있었으나, 시스템 장애는 확인되지 않았으며 출품 접수는 정상적으로 운영되었습니다.


트래픽 지연으로 인해 마감 시간 이전 이메일 또는 기타 채널을 통해 접수된 건에 대해서는 현재 운영팀에서 개별 확인을 진행 중입니다.


문의가 많아 개별 접수 확인 요청에는 별도로 답변드리기 어려운 점 양해 부탁드리며,
유효한 출품작은 모두 정상적으로 검토되며, 선정된 작품에 한해 추후 개별적으로 연락드릴

예정입니다.


많은 관심과 참여에 감사드립니다.


— WAIFF Seoul 운영팀 드림
