EDIT: Dunno why, but I have tried with IE instead of ffox and it worked.
The three mime types you reported weren't in the acceptable list. Now they are :-)

There are a plethora of different mime types being reported for the same file type, so I would suggest that everyone who hasn't already done so tries uploading their zipped up design. If you leave it until 5 minutes before the deadline, then you may not be able to upload it.

On this subject, Google Chrome appears to think it's better off not reporting the mime type it's upload. Quite why that should be, I don't know. So try an alternative browser if you experience problems.

On the subject of whether your upload was successful, there is now a section at the bottom of the competition page which lists your stage uploads. You can check there whether your file was uploaded correctly.
