Apologies for the wait. There was some unexpected processing time that had to occur. If you do not see your name on the list under the spoiler when you know you submitted correctly, then you either did not submit a completed image, submitted more than once, or plagiarized someones template, as took place here. Someone distributed an image with the completed answers. That template was found on numerous submissions. Although not explicitly specified in the rules above, plagiarism is never acceptable in ANY contest. If you submitted the template, you have officially been warned. The next instance of breaking contest rules will result in a ban from newspaper contests. Thank you.
