Did anyone send in an essay a few months ago for the Dupont Challenge? I keep checking the website, but it never mentions a date to announce winners. Anybody know something I don't?

they are always very late, theyll let you know if you win anything, but if you havent heard yet its probally not a good sign. i was an honorable mention fresh year

Any news about this? Anyone hear from them?

We can look at this two ways: #1: There's no sign because they don't care about people who didn't win anything, or #2: No one's heard from them so they're not done yet.

OK, well at least the junior division results are out: http://www.smsd.org/schools/smwest/news12497.htm

But I can't find anything on google about the senior division in regard to a winner or even honorable mentions, so maybe the senior division is late in coming out? I know that the results are late in coming out and are not very well organized, but I don't know if they would announce the junior results and not the senior results. Or maybe our essays just didn't make the cut...

Well, I Googled it, and yes, the senior results are out. However, the articles were from May 19 and May 26, so *maybe*, just *maybe*, they were slow to arrive from Illinois. If we don't get a word in a week or so, I think we can assume we didn't make it. Sigh.

The article I saw (thanks, Frozentears) mentioned regional finalists knowing their status in March. I wish DuPont had indicated that on the website two months ago.
