I got an email from Stack Overflow employee regarding Windows 8 Challenge Winner level 1, the image is as follows,

prizes email

I filled the details and submitted about a week ago. Basically i am from india, so it would obviously take time to reach my prize.

Is there any mechanism to check what is the progress of the Windows's prize distribution? Even there was no response email which says that I have filled my detail or not. I think an automated email needed to fire after submitting the details that "Thank you for filling your submission details, You will get your prize soon"

  • @JourneymanGeek, good, for your information, my question is not about the doubting for prize, I just wanted to have a facility for tracking the prize reaching process to your home. Mine T-Shirt is also on the way.

The prizes are generally shipped via USPS - so other than having to sit tight & wait, there's no way to check the prize process.

  • ok agree but atleast SO should sent me an email(auto generated) regarding i filled my submission detail, shouldn't it ?

  • you get a notification once you submit the form. Email would be nice, but I don't see how it'll be useful

  • agree but notification was temporary, while an email is really a better option. I am just doubting whether you got my details or not ?

  • There is a tracking process in that site, so if S.O. provide me my receipt number in returned email than i can easily track it :)

    If users want to email me (brett at stack exchange dot com) to verify that their info was received, I can do that. Unfortunately there is no automation in place and won't be put in place for this contest, so that's the best we can do right now. Sorry for any inconvenience that causes! Nov 27, 2012 at 16:14
