2015 Ayn Rand Anthem Essay Contest

I’M SO HAPPY

@VanillaBean22 Wait, so what does it mean exactly if I got the email saying my essay is in Final Review? Is it a good or bad thing?

@ALibertarian I’m not really sure. I would call if it’s really bothering you but I think at this point as long as you haven’t received a “Sorry you’re out” email you should be in the running.

Also, @ALibertarian if you do end up calling you should share what the email you got means :slight_smile:

Has anyone heard anything?

The guy said the graders would need a couple more days. I also read that the 31st is the new date for results to come out.

Where did you see the new date?

that’s what some ppl said on cc

I have been so impatient, too, so I called a couple of times and they said something kind of vague about how the results were supposed to have come out on Sunday or Monday but it will come this week sometime. I really hope VanillaBean22 is right. (though I did enter Anthem not Fountainhead.)

Not yet…

They need to drag Dagny Taggart back from Atlantis to help them meet their published schedule! A bit inconsistent with the Ayn Rand concept of excellence…

@TheWriter9 hmm now I’m a bit unsure of whether or not the person told me accurate information since the response you got was different…

They just probably aren’t done judging and the person answering the phones doesn’t know exactly when they’ll finish.

@VanillaBean22 I still think you’re right because you were given a definite response/ reason that the results weren’t released. The person I spoke to was really vague, sort of talking a lot without really saying much.

any updates?

nope

i got my email at about 4:30 telling me that i placed so they are coming

@benrob7 for the fountainhead? were you a semi finalist?

My daughter still hasn’t heard anything. She entered the Anthem contest. Did anyone who entered that contest get word?

…still no word from the fountainhead. Call me impatient xD
