Where do you post DVD Winners?

Just curious if you post the winners of the DVD giveaways on your website. I wanted to find out who won the Harry Potter DVD and couldn't find the web page anywhere. -- Thanks

If I remember correctly, he posts the winners on the same page as the contest, once it's over.

Seeing as how the contest just ended a couple days ago, he may not have posted the winners yet. When he does, it should be on this page: http://www.dvdtalk.com/harrypottergiveaway.html

Good luck!

Always post the winners on the giveaway pages. Tend to draw winners for giveaways in batch (2-3 giveaways at a time). Will be drawing winners for Potter by end of the week

Since there were several posts on the dvd giveaways/contests, I thought I would post my question here. I noticed by clicking the links that the Rookie and Pulp Fiction / Jackie Brown Collector's Edition Giveaway haven't been posted yet even though the contests' ended on 9/02 and 8/26, respectively. I followed the same links as I used to sign up. Could you have changed your way of linking to the winners'?


P.S.,
The following links are for anyone who has questions about the contests.

question about DVD Talk Contests

now I may be stupid and I might end up answering my own question, but

were the winners for the Rookie, Pulp Fiction/Jackie Brown, Repli-Kate, and Duces Wild contests announced?

or were the winners contacted privately?

I would like to see a list of all previous winners maintained on the website...

That being said, I feel this will probably be moved to the Feedback Forum.

Didn't you know? DVDtalk contests are a conspiracy... no one ever wins.

I agree that a winners list should be maintained on the website at all times. I can go back through the archives a couple of months, look at the contest page, and still find an entry form for a contest that's been over for ages. I'm beginning to wonder if anyone actually does win. Oh well, I'll still keep entering just in case.

I have a number of giveaway's which need to be updated (winners already picked and notified) just have to update the pages with the winners names.

Every giveaway says 'We'll Notify the Winners Via Email' and for each one we always do that as soon as we pick them

Thanks. That's good to know. Now I can stop checking to see if I've won. I'll just watch my email.

Out of curiosity, when did the winners need to be a resident of the US or Canada? I remember a long time ago when DVDs would be shipped to the winners anywhere in the world.

Not that this affects me, I am in the US, and haven't won in 2.5 years.
