So I was the 3rd place winner of the monthly competition #61. I was supposed to win a canvas print from photoartistry, but was never contacted even after Mark said he emailed them a couple of times to remind them. I believe that was the end of 2008 and here it is April 2009, and still have heard nothing. Has anyone else had problems claiming their prizes, or am I just an unlucky soul who is gonna get hosed here?

Getting hosed isn't 'unlucky,' and it shouldn't happen in any way. I advise you to stick to your guns. If they don't follow through, I think Mark should give you the prize out of his pocket, then tell that company they're not getting any more free advertising, see ya later.

Congratulations again on winning.

Hi,

I'm chasing this up for you again - many apologies for the long delay...

So now it is May 4th. I still have heard nothing from Photo Artistry. WHAT IS THE DEAL? Now it's not even about the prize, it's about principle now! Every day I am getting angrier and angrier. And that is rare from a guy like me!
