When do I find out if I won?

Judging take place July 1 - 15 (by the SlowTrav moderators). Winners are announced on July 15. Winners are then placed into a hat and are drawn. Order determines prize selection - you choose your prize based the order you were drawn in (with only written entries in the hat for the Grand Prizes).

So come to the message board on July 15 and watch the action. You can watch as people win and choose their prize. Some prizes will be set aside for online contest which will happen between July 15 - 30. (Prizes to be set aside for online contests will be determined randomly during the drawing.)

See you on the message board!!
