2015 Ayn Rand Anthem Essay Contest

Nope, still haven’t heard back for the anthem contest either @TheGFG

alright, starting to get a bit impatient now

I find it strange that some people have gotten emails and others haven’t. I haven’t heard anything.

Really impatient at this point. Anyone want to try emailing them?

Does anyone know how long until they post the final results?

I just made a call and they said they tried emailing everyone. There’s apparently someone who can search you up if you didn’t get any notification whatsoever but he doesn’t seem to be picking up atm…

Well, there is a possibility people are lying about receiving an email, just to cause agitation among us impatient ones. Or maybe they received rejections and the rest of us are at least semifinalists.

It seemed to me like the results were already decided from the man who answered the phone. I believe his name was Stewart

So if we didn’t get an email… What does that mean?

So the guy just called me back, and there seem to be problems delivering emails. I would call and ask them to check your email. They are checking mine right now.

What??? Do you mean checking for accuracy of the address or whether the communication went thru or?

Wait, so we can call them and they can maybe just tell us how we did?
What’s the number that you’ve been calling @VanillaBean22?

My daughter said she just sent an email to essay@aynrand.org.

So vaniilabean, are you off celebrating?

call (949) 222-6550 extension 1 to get in contact with ARI.

@TheGFG, unfortunately I’m not :confused: better luck to the rest of you though!

Oh, I am so sorry! I could tell you really wanted this. So then it wasn’t correct that they already notified all the non-winners? Or were you one of the 175 semifinalists?

Thanks it’s okay I will move in with my life haha xD

It said I didn’t get chosen for a scholarship this year so I’m guessing I didn’t even semifinal. Looks like they didn’t already notify all the non-winners.

Oh. So disappointing! Thanks for being brave enough to call and inform the rest of us, though.

I called but then he transferred me to a guy and it asked me to leave a message so I just hung up out of nervousness lol

go for it @sey927!!
