    I had it at the back of my mind, but I don't know if I'll be ready by the date.( Or ever.):) I feel a bit like Charlie Bucket. Such a prize!!

    I generally don't trust entry fees.

    With a €20,000 prize fund a €10 entry doesn't seem unreasonable, but I wouldn't like to pay much more.

    Looks like I'm entering.

    I found out tonight that it's only run every 5 years. So... yeah.

    I found something on my harddrive that isn't terrible and is complete. Going to spend tomorrow making it better and get that February 3rd post mark on it on Monday!

    Did anyone get confirmation regarding their entry to the Davy Byrne competition. I expected to receive a confirmation of some sort that entry had been received but nothing.

    No, received no confirmation, but wasn't expecting to I suppose. It's the first one I've entered.

    Yeh my first too, but it would be nice if they had let us know especially since they're asking us not to enter the story into other competitions. I posted it on the Friday before it was due but I presume if it hadn't made the deadline they would sent it back or something.

    You usually don't get confirmation. Did they take payment? That will let you know if they got it.

    I used a postal order. Is there any way I can check?

    It doesn't really matter, when I don't win I'll just assume they didn't get it
