OTFS and PRISM Contest Updates

PRISM and OTFS contest judging is concluding. Notification of results of both contests is coming soon.

Thursday, August 28, 2008

PRISM update

PRISM entries are now with judges and the winners will be announced by Sept. 22.
Winners will be posted here, as well as on the FF&P Website.

Sunday, June 22, 2008

PRISM update

Since we are unable to make contact with the Prism coordinator, Victoria Stark, the board will be taking over the contest. We are hoping to be able to announce the winners by early September. We apologize for not being able to announce the winners at the Gathering, but due to the circumstances we've had to postpone the contest. If you entered the contest and have not contacted the us, please do so by June 30th. After that date, we will have to assume we have all the entries and will start sending them out to judges. Thanks to all who have offered support and encouragement.

Gathering Update

The finalists for the Prism contest will not be available by Nationals, so there will not be a Prism ceremony at the Gathering. Due to this change of events, the board has decided to hold a sit down dinner to help compensate for the cancellation of the Prism awards instead of the usual hors d'oeuvres. Please check out the new menu by following the Gathering link at the bottom of the FF&P home page. We will also have an agent & editor panel.

Deadline to register for the Gathering is Monday, July 7th.

FF&P Prism Contest Notice

*Permission to forward*

Due to circumstances beyond our control, we have lost contact with our Prism contest coordinator, Victoria Stark. We have exhausted our resources (email, phone, snail mail, friends), and she has not responded back to us. If anyone has been in contact with her, please let her know the board is trying to get a hold of her and for her to please respond ASAP. The last we heard the contest was proceeding as expected and the entries were about to go to the judges. Unfortunately, we have no proof this happened. We have three volunteers willing to drive to NY to get the materials from her if she has failed to send them out, but we need her to respond before that can happen. We deeply apologize for the inconvenience and plan to move forward with the contest if we can get the materials returned. In the future, we plan to utilize online resources to ensure one person is not responsible for the whole contest.

If you have entered the Prism contest, please email the following address with your name, email address, name of book(s) entered, and category entered: contest@romance-ffp.com.

Thank You,

FF&P Board
