MSN Best App Competition Prizes?

Hello winners of the MSN Best App competition. Being one of the winners myself, I was wondering whether anyone has received anything (documents, forms, PRIZES) after they sent their affidavit of eligibility back to Microsoft

I tried contacting Jennifer Johnson one month ago and she said that they are still in the process of sending out additional forms for us to fill out. She said that they are planning on having all of them sent out by the end of next week (which should've been April 14).

On April 18 I emailed her again inquiring about the status of the documents since I haven't received any. I haven't heard back from her since.

This is an excerpt from the official rules governing the contest:

3. Additional Contest Prize-Related Terms and Conditions. Upon notification and ordinary course verification, Contest Prizes will be shipped (method at Microsoft’s sole discretion) to a winner 4-6 weeks of completion of the verification and acceptance process (e.g., verified and accepted Contest Prize winners).

If the process of verification is signing the affidavit, I believe that there are only about 2 weeks left before the prizes should be shipped.. but, as Jennifer told me, we still need to fill out additional forms.

They are lucky then! I haven't received anything (not even an email updating the status of processing) yet!

Hi

I'm also one of the winners from out of the US. I first received the affidavit and sent it back, even if it was designed for US participants only.

Then I received a package by DHL with a form. It had been sent on 14th April and arrived on 18th April, and I also had received a mail with the track number. The instructions said that I should return the affidavit and the new form but I emailed them and they told me I didn't receive the affidavit because it was ok with the one I had sent back before.

I returned that form on 25th April, they received it on 27th April and I'm still waiting the prize. I hope I will get it soon.

At least I have...

After I got all the documents I had to fill in, at the end of April (don't exactly remember when) it all went very fast. In about a week after I returned them, I got my price. But remember it was only a 3th price, so only the VS 2005.

Hi Everybody,

I'm in Canada, and I got my prize about two weeks ago. I live in Ontario, so I guess that I'm very close to the shipping site.

Same here _Nik_ I'm in Canada and had the first Affidavit (filled it out and sent back) then got the email about a new Affidavit being sent out but nothing came in the mail.

I emailed Jennifer about two weeks ago and haven't heard anything since.

At least I'm not the only one :P

Do you guys also receive an NFR (not for resale) version of VS 2005

I doubt its value. I heard it is given away for free in VS2005 launch tour and VS training classes.

Btw, is NFR version allowed to be used in comercial environment what do u guys think
