Wow, Sorry I didnt mean to cause such a stir, I figured this thread was over and didnt look back. scubita PM'd me a couple of days ago and asked me what was up I informed him/her that I was dealing with a person who had submitted through PM, scubita said that that was not proper, for that I apologize I have done a few such contests on here and each time have had people submit through PM, either because they didnt know how to post links or didnt want people to copy their ideas. The person who PM'd me the winning artwork has since been banned and I have had no luck contacting them. As I said from the very beginning this was for my sisters company, she picked the winner and I am just the messenger. If I had to pick a winner it would be between Scubita and X factors work I like the white on black. So what should you have me do pay someone else for artwork I don't want?
No, but you should have posted at the time saying entry from "x" received via PM, and then at least informed people that the contest was over. I mean, holding a contest means that you are responsible for running it, and in the end, closing it. A simple explanation could have settled the matter a long time ago. But at least it's (semi-)sorted now.
