| tryin2Bcool, congrats on your regional win!
it's so long, the wait is awful. :X
i think if the guy you contacted 2 months ago and said it was fine then it probably is... they're probably swamped with entries right now, sorting out which are winners, etc... it'll probably take a while before they answer you. don't worry about it too much though, there's not much you can do now (as you've already emailed them recently)... |

| I'm worried about the same thing... I sent my work to the post office on the day of the deadline... but I'm not sure whether it was postmarked or not, or if something else happened. I'm too scared to email them and ask if they received it, though...
I wonder if we get an email saying we didn't win everything... because I would hate to never get anything and have to gradually accept my failure =D | |

| I live in NYC and I postmarked the entry (writing) on the last possible day also. >.< However, I did get an email saying that I was regionally recognized and will be receiving more details (awards, national recognition, etc) within three weeks. My classmate entered the Art competition and already knew that she has received the Silver Key award. | |

| I don't know why it's taking so long for other regions to get back to the students, but my region told me within like a week or 2 if I got any awards (btw, I got a gold art portfolio, gold painting, silver painting, and an honorable mention). As for region-at-large writing awards, I called Scholastics and the guy said winners would be notified within the next two weeks.
Did anyone hear submit a novel? If so, do you know how many novels are typically received? | |

| Yeah guys. Just check the link honora posted. If your state has an affiliate (in other words, it doesn't say "Region At Large" below and instead lists a bunch of whatever), you're not in Region At Large.
Aaaaaah. I just want to know if RAL sent out stuff. XD | |
