Epic's picks auto rejection within 10 mins without any info

I spent 3 months on an innovative, infinite procedurally generated map that fits the criteria for Epic’s picks. I applied and was auto rejected within 10 MINUTES with “other maps were chosen instead”. MY SUBMITTED VIDEOS WERE LONGER THAN IT TOOK TO GET REJECTED WHAT GOING ON OVER THERE EPIC??

Additional Notes

This is extremely demoralizing as it shows nobody is reviewing these submissions, and epics picks is the only way to get traction in uefn because all of my maps fail to ever get put in discover or playlists either, even when updated frequently. The quality of maps is not the issue because I have made maps that were accepted for a megagrant, yet still rejected from epics picks
