Yes, submitting a 360 video is a requirement. A 360 video is where you use to stand in front of your camera and record yourself in a complete turn of 360 degrees. This is so that the areas that are not captured in your photos will be seen as well.
Not necessary. You can take photos and video in whatever way you think is comfortable.
There are several reasons why you cannot see your photos and videos.
No. You are not required to post your images on the private Facebook group.
This may be due to the traffic of people trying to upload to the server at the same time. You can wait for a few minutes and try again.

If you already have uploaded your photo and videos and you wish to replace them with a different image, all you need to do is: Click Choose file > choose your image to replace the current image you have uploaded > then click OPEN. If you have no other changes, click UPLOAD to submit and complete the process
If you need to check if you have successfully uploaded your video and images, you can simply log out, clear your cache, and log in again. You can also use a private browser to check.
Inform the Alphashred support team about the situation before uploading your images.
Leave them as-is. If you have mistakenly uploaded on Day 15 or Day 30, then you can replace the images on the day of submission. As long as you have submitted your images in the right slot as well, the images in the correct slots are considered.
