First off, congratulations to all of the winners. Its really great seeing a combination of newer and experienced carvers being recognized for their impeccable work. Having not been able to attend the show, I can't wait to see the photos of the lineup all together.
I submitted a pipe for the contest. I didn't win, no shock there. However, in the contest rules it mentioned that the non-winning pipes would be returned after the show.
I included my return address, etc. in the package with the pipe but haven't seen it or heard anything about it since I sent it. Has anyone else who wasn't at the show had their pipes returned to them yet?

Last couple years, it took a month or two if I remember before the pipe made it back. The organizers are busy and there are a lot of pipes to ship. I wouldn't worry about it.

No worries. There are just several shopping-cart-loads of boxes to deal with. Lots of care, lots of documentation, and numerous trips to the PO required.
UFOs must be real. There's no other explanation for cats.
