Cannot link project to award

Hello, I was a nominee (semi-finalist) for a New York Script Award for the script of my pilot "The Proxy Mom" - IMDB title/tt14016030. But the old name of the project (The Proxy Cure Sizzle Reel) is the only one coming up in the pull-down title menu to link the project. I of course do not want that to appear as it has been retitled "The Proxy Mom," both the pilot and the script. IMDB contributions is not letting me go forward without choosing the old name of the project. I of course do not want that to appear as it has been retitled "The Proxy Mom," both in the proof of concept pilot and the script, and has this nomination under that name. Can you please help? I have proof/confirmation of The Proxy Mom and it's status from the New York Script Awards web page.

It won't make a difference which title is displayed in the award form, so you can go ahead and submit the award. To change the title of the series you would have to submit a title correction. Currently the series listing has the original title The Proxy Cure Sizzle Reel and the alternative US display title The Proxy Mom. That means the latter title is displayed to most US users, but the former title is displayed to others.

Thanks for replying. So if I choose "The Proxy Cure Sizzle Reel" as the project, it will actually display "The Proxy Mom"? This is important because the winner was "The Proxy Mom," a script, not a reel. I will try choosing "The Proxy Cure Sizzle Reel," and explain in notes that it should display "The Proxy Mom," as of course the script is not a reel - it is me as the writer that has been chosen. Do you think this will work? Thank you

@mariesmalley- I can see that the title has now been corrected https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14016030/ but you can still go ahead submit this award and our editors will review it.
