The Celtic Manor Challenge random drawing ended on October 15, 2010. I was notified as the winner in April 2012.
wow that's a long time ;-),....18 months!

So, It might take some time before the eventual winner is notified.
guess you can say that dan ;-), but not that much; Sweepstakes rules says:
4. Winner Selection and Notification.
Winner will be selected in a random drawing on or about fifteen (15) days following the close of each Sweepstakes Period from all eligible entries received for the Sweepstakes. The drawing will be conducted at Sponsor's address as indicated in Paragraph 8 of these rules by Sponsor or its designee, the judge of the Sweepstakes, whose decisions are final and binding. Potential winner will be notified on or about fifteen (15) days following the close of each Sweepstakes Period by an email sent to the email address specified in the entry. If potential winner cannot be contacted at this email address, is contacted and does not respond as directed within seven (7) days of attempted notification, refuses the prize, is ineligible to accept the prize or does not otherwise comply with the Official Rules, the prize may be forfeited and awarded to an alternate winner. Potential winner may be required to complete and sign an Affidavit of Eligibility and, except where and as prohibited, a Liability Release and Publicity Release in the form provided by Sponsor included below in these Official Rules within seven (7) days of attempted notification in order to claim the prize. Potential winners may be required to show proof of identification within seven (7) days of attempted notification, or the prize may be forfeited and awarded to an alternate winner. Any Canadian potential winner must also correctly answer a mathematical skill-based question administered by the Sponsor in order to claim prize.
So it might take a couple of months, but not five or eighteen. Would be nice 2 hear from icon or any other staff member. Give us a clear and transparant procedure please, and a special forum 2 register all sweepstakes prizes.
Cheers, GC
PS dan, assume it was worth the wait. Although it took a long time, of course it's a gr8 prize 2 win ;-). By the way, it doesn't show up in the Leaderboard - no prize behind your name, so bb you might be right on this.
