Apparently I've been disqualified. I'm extremely disappointed in this decision.
I received an email requesting the original file within 48 hours with no explanation. I work 12 hour days and do not have time to check my personal email. This is frustrating for a few reasons. The first being is that I've been an off and on member for 14 years and finally won my first ribbon. The second is that I feel my integrity is being question, and the third is that 48 hours is an unrealistic requirement when I suspect the majority of the websites subscribers have jobs outside of this hobby.
