I must therefore assume my work was disqualified (and discarded??).<BR/><BR/>I never received a receipt for my entry fees, and I was not notified that my work received, accepted or disqualified. <BR/><BR/>I hope that this comment will inspire change for the mannor in which future contests are advertised and handled... <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the opportunity to express my opinion~mgarmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14954761493570325031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-901901625620223463.post-26464837546643635032008-04-25T08:53:00.000-07:002008-04-25T08:53:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.mgarmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14954761493570325031noreply@blogger.com
