Hi All,
I have contacted 18 users (from 20 winning photos) since 13:57, 23 October 2013 (UTC) via their commons talk pages. There are currently only 10 replies and I am worried that I would not be able to distribute the prizes (and trophies which are yet to be made) efficiently and fairly.
Do you have any suggestions, experiences or comments to share?
Many thanks, Taweethaも on behalf of WLM-TH
Hi Taweetha,
Last year one of the winners found the e-mail in his spam box. I had to message them both on their talk pages and e-mail.

We develop a large investigation over Facebook, Twitter and other social networks to find them, BUT, in our rules we have a clause that if the winner don't contact us after a month (this year, Nov 30), he lose the prize. In our case, we have contacted 10/12, only 4~6 in Commons.
Regards

Last year we found worldwide winner, after publishing the news in National daily (India) :-)
It was like his friend saw the news and told him. Then he contacted us via Facebook.

We used the local "White Pages" to find one of the winners (had to call several people with the same name until we got the right one). It's really up to you but usually a Commons message isn't enough.
