John,

Thanks for the message. As Brian said, just re-submit as per the submission details.

This is another good reason to follow the submission details and I'm not calling you out John. Since you posted what you had done I wanted to give an example of why it's important to follow the instructions.

When I was going through all of the submissions that had come in on Monday and Tuesday, I was able to determine which submissions were for which reference song by the cue # or cue title. Since the director and I were focusing on specific songs last night, I could pull those that pertained to what we were looking for and return to the others when I had more time.

Those that came in with no cue # or cue title, I just passed them by because there was no reference to which song they were being submitted for. John's e-mail was one that was passed because of this. Due to the fact that I've been super busy, I have not had the chance to reply back to everyone and let them know that their submissions came in improperly. Some I have and they resubmitted the proper way. As I'm typing this message, someone just sent a re-submit per my e-mail reply back to them.

Also, having to reply just adds another layer of unnecessary work. However, everyone can redeem themselves by resubmitting and making note of their previous submission so that I can discard it and not spend time replying.

This is a learning experience and as future placement opportunity are posted, everyone will be primed and ready to submit per the submission details. Keep in mind that other music supervisors go through the same thing and if your submission to them was not proper, per their submission guidelines, it could be the reason why you never heard back from them.
