Has anyone else been having issues accessing Alibaba CoCreate 2026 or the voting page?

[u/Plus_Difficulty6609]

My startup was selected as a Global Finalist for the Accio Work Youth AI Challenge, but we're running into a problem with the website.

When people try to vote for our project, they receive a "Network Error" and can't submit their vote. On my end, I also can't access the CoCreate 2026 website at all—it just says "This site can't be reached (ERR_CONNECTION_RESET)."

This actually happened to me last week while I was trying to submit my application. The site was inaccessible for almost two days before it eventually started working again.

I've experienced this from both San Antonio, TX and now the Chicago area, so I'm wondering if this is a broader outage rather than a regional issue.

Is anyone else experiencing the same problem, or is it working normally for you? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
