Considering that some of them are mailed, I would think that it wouldn't be BEFORE about the middle of this month, just to make sure slow shipping doesn't disqualify someone. I am also right positive that they recieved a lot of entries. Each one is only 150 words, but I am willing to bet it would still take a really long time.
I would GUESS that it would be announced near the end of this month, but of course I don't work here, and I am speculating entirely. It really depends on how motivated the staff is, and how many entries they got.

Thanks, I was thinking it would probably take a long time considering the popularity of this website. PGC staff, thanks for putting a lot of effort into one of the best contests I've found on the web, and good luck picking away the best from this very large pack. Thanks for the input as well, Grey Ninja.

Is it possible to publish not only the winners, but something like the top 50 or staff picks? It would just make everything that much more intersting. Maybe have a Louie award or something for all those people who didn't quite make it to the prizes but weird crazy anyway?

While we'd like to do something hardcore, we're probably just going to post a small special on the winners. It's a little too much to do the 50. We've got E3 in a couple weeks, and a whole bunch of stuff going on. Going thru the thousands of entries alone was enough for us at this time. Seriously, you have no idea

This idea probaly has problem of it's own, but what about farming out say a hundrad entires to tursted forum members and get each to pick 5 a piece as favarites. Then one of you refilter the five percent that has been picked and you could easily come up with a top 50 reader picks. I will be the first to raise my hand to the task.

Hrm, no. I think it's complicated enough as it is. But thanks.
