Real Beauty contest

Ok!  Third time is the charm!  We resubmitted my picture and it's up on the website now.  Very exciting!  Keep your fingers crossed.

PEOPLE Real Beauty contest

After getting a mass e-mailing about signing up for this contest I decided to go for it and submit an entry.  Or so I thought.   I had some very nice photos taken by a good friend/photographer and submitted my entry.  I was assured on the webpage that I'd be notified once my picture had been posted.  That was 4 days ago.  Still not a word- no e-mail, no text, nothing on the website.  I'm concerned because part of the judging is based on votes.  Instead of having 10 days, I now have 6 left and my picture still hasn't been uploaded.  So disappointed PEOPLE!!   I don't expect to win, I just wanted to be entered and at least have a fair shot of getting some votes. Of course, there's no contact information so I can't even find out if it was received. Just to be sure, I submitted it again...
There has to be a better way to let people know. Are they adding the photos by hand, one by one?  I doubt it! An instant e-mail should have come back letting me know if my photo and essay question response were received.

Well, I guess there's nothing to do but wait.  Would have been fun though.  Top prize is a photo shoot in NY and picture in People magazine's Most Beautiful issue.
