Hello does anyone know what the heck is going on with the PDN Faces contest? I entered months and months ago and I could swear it should have ended by now but its status has not changed on PDN's website and I haven't seen any notification of winners. Anyone have any info?
I was wondering why the winning pictures from the 2008 Billboard/PDN Summer Music Moment are missing. If you go here and click on "summer music moment" and then "view the winners" there are no pictures--unless it's just my browser...
PDN is running scams! Don't participate in any of their contests.
I submitted to the Faces Contest back in Sept. or Oct.08. With the contest winner supposedly being announced at the end of Nov.
Then nothing for months until I looked in the current issue of PDN and found the Faces Contest call for entries.
So I went to login to my account that I originally opened when I first gave them $35 an image and what do you know, I have no account and I'd need to re-enter.
So PDN what happened to the first round of entries of I assume thousands of people at $35 each image!
Madoff ain't got nothing on you! Well done!

What the f*** is going on? I posted and queried about this in November (see above) and received a reply from a pdn staffer that the winners would be posted then it never happened! I feel totally ripped off! PDN positions itself as an industry leader but seems to have devolved into nothing but contest scam factory.
