most every contest I have won from takes at least 6 to 8 weeks after the contest is over. I have been verified,sent all the paper work and everything done and still had to wait until the contest ended and another 6 to 8 weeks, and I have also recieved prizes right away. Now I just try to look at it like a savings account of prizes. But if you are concerned there is nothing wrong with sending a polite request as to how long before you can expect shippment of your prize so you can be on the look out for it. Good luck and hope it comes soon.
