The Slingink Prize Update 2

Thanks to everyone for their support.

The competition is going ahead in its amended form and entries have been forwarded to the judges today.

I am still waiting to hear from a few people whether they wish to withdraw or remain in the competition. Further e-mails have been sent today.

To all entrants of The Slingink Prize/The Slingink Junior Prize – please check your e-mails.

Now that the competition submission date has passed, I have had to send the following to everyone due to a lack of prize funds. TSP letter

Refunds for entry fees are being processed over the next couple of days (N.B. As of 00.00 2nd August all refunds should now be processed, please let me know if you haven’t heard back from PayPal about yours)

I am hoping not to have to cancel but need to revise the terms.

Thanks so much to all those who have responded already to keep their entries in the competition, and to those that withdraw I understand that too.

Apologies for this turn of events.

I would like to also express huge thanks to Eva and Sally who are wonderfully still supporting the competition.
