I noticed that Wilton never mentioned when they would be judging the entries for this years cake contest... guessing they already have, but wonder if anyone out there knew for sure. I had a lot of trouble sending my photos online... thought the cake would be the hard part, but it was the entry that got me frazzled. Then there was no way to confirm that they had rec'd my photos in the proper format. Next year I'm going snail mail!

Im wondering the same thing!!!! I sent my entry snail mail, never received anything confirming that they had gotten my pic! Im not sure when they announce the winners. I checked the website and nothing has been updated, although it did say, if you want to know the winning entries send a self addressed stamp before Oct 31. They posted the winners last year, so eventually we'll find out!!

Last year they were really slow announcing the winners, seems to me it was months later. I remember because a couple of good buddies had entries and were emailing Wilton often to find out what was taking so long.

That's certainly frustrating! I've emailed once, but don't want to annoy anyone, so thought I'd just let it go. They didn't email me back, so assumed I didn't place. I don't mind if they take their time judging, but would like to at least know what their schedule is. I've never seen any contest of any kind that left the contestants so in the dark. Oh well, I still love Wilton... won't get too cranky. icon_smile.gif

Michelle, They didn't happen to mention when they'd notify the winners did they?

Wow, I'm bummed. I was hoping to place in the kid's birthday category. The last time I called they said they would announce the winners end of Oct. beginning of Nov. I guess not! icon_sad.gificon_cry.gif

Well, last year the winners were not announced until either the end of December or early January. I don't know if that was unusual or what, but it might well be awhile yet.
