We will announce an approximate date by which the results will be made public on November 15th, 2004. (Update:.This now changes to December 15th 2004) This will be via press release, email to all entrants and a notification on our blog.
Note: It is important that you understand why we cannot, at this stage, give you a clear idea of when the contest results will be announced.
We are a small team, donating our time free of cost (not only are we not personally earning anything from this contest, we're actually spending our own money and hoping sponsors line up soon), all of us have livings to earn and careers to nurture.
That said, we still want to make sure all entries get a fair reading, and we're going to great pains to ensure that (please see Judging Method). So please bear with us: we will only be able to take a guess as to how long the selection process will take once we know how many entries the contest has attracted. |
