The top winner for our Entrecard contest has been drawn. The candidate does not appear to qualify for the contest guidelines, which state that you must be a new Entrecard user within the deadlines of March 15 - April 15. We are waiting on information from Phirate, the Entrecard Admin, to verify the signup dates of contest entrants.

Please note, my grandmother passed away on the morning of April 15th. Kacie and I are preparing to travel back home to Indiana this weekend to attend her funeral. If time allows, we will try to announce the first place winner tonight (if we hear from Phirate), and second place winners before Sunday.

Hosts and Sponsors: please let me know if I have not accurately indicated ”Donation received” or “*Contest Up*” for your site, below. The former is being used to tally up the amount of EC sponsored per category. The latter is being used to tally up contest entries. 

I will determine winners by generating random numbers, and then counting through comments within all Hosts (for the first place prize) and within Hosts per category (for the second place prize). If the selected comment is not a contest entry or does not qualify, I will generate a new number. Also, if a category is sponsored but does not have a host, I will randomly select winners within Sense to Save’s contest post. Let me know if I should change any of these procedures.
