It's really terrible. I told myself that I would just enter "and see what happens" ... but now I've become obsessed. Ew. What's wrong with me?!?

Hmmm...I'm thinking about doing this competition next year. Can anyone tell me how hard/easy it is to get a Gold Award at the national level?

evilspork--my friend entered RAL (for art) and did not hear back until recently that she had won a gold key at the national level. Since RAL covers so many states I guess they only notify you if you won on a national level, and there is no regional level to pass through. I would assume that it is the same for writing...and they said the results for that should come soon...

awesome! I had almost totally ruled out the chance that I could have won. Because I know someone who get a gold key in art, but none of the people I know who have wrote something have heard anything.

Congrats, patois! Huzzah for photography, <3.

Well guys...I guess we all just have to wait. If we eventually hear something, so be it. If not, at least we participated. If you win, you WILL be notified, so just wait and see.

I entered art, so I guess I probably didn't get anything, but congrats to those who did. ^_^

sort of wondering. Did anyone actually call and ask about this? Or is this just speculation, rumors that you've heard (about the awards still being presented)

How did Region at Large people find out? Email? Normal mail? I remember that earlier in the thread that teachers told them... anybody find out through this way?

this is really confusing. i remember when my teacher entered me freshman year, she sent in my actual painting. then i got some letter in march saying it was shipped to nationals and i got a gold key for RAL. this year, i entered some stuff on a CD (i think the instructions said to send multiple CD's, but i just put everything on one CD) and i have no clue how the regionals/nationals even work. so all the RAL peoples' stuff get forwarded to nationals for judging?
