Question about the content ratings
60If a piece is clearly not suitable for 'Everyone' because it contains fairly disturbing body horror, but has no gore, blood, violence, erotica, nudity, etc., where would you draw the line between 'Teen' and 'Mature'?
Thanks in advance.

On the gallery submission page, there's a blue info icon. If you click that or hover over it, you'll see content rating tips. And don't worry - if a reviewer determines that a different content rating would be more appropriate, they can change it for you.

Good luck in the contest, and thanks for participating!

Thank you admin! I can't believe I missed that blue icon. I've gone ahead and rated my "Extra Cheesy" as Teen.
It has some pretty gross body horror, but I think it's more in line with the dark comedy horror of something like Tales from the Crypt or Goosebumps than say, John Carpenter's The Thing. Rating it Mature seemed like overkill to me, though I could certainly be wrong.
Since you mentioned that if a reviewer determines a different content rating would be more appropriate, they can change it, I'll leave it at Teen for now and leave the final call to the reviewer.
