Winner Announcement Date disappointment

Dear Archiact Jam Team,

First of all thanks a lot to all of you for your time and efforts to organize this great competition! Great respect to all of you who significantly help VR to envolve!

I know it is a difficult and responsible task to judge the submited games. It is in our all interest that the judging team should have enough time to give a decission without any time pressure.
So i don't really want to be the guy moaning arround BUT giving the fact that one of the awards is a demo space at the CVR 2016, wich is hosted on the 14.5., it is impossible for most international competitors to get there when we get the winner decission on the 13.5.
I don't know how others thought about it but as an indie developer it would be a pleasure for me to demonstrate my work personally at an exhibition if i had the chance to, but a flight to canada takes arround 23 hours for me.

So just a humble request for future jams: please give us more time buffer between the winner announcement and the award event date.

Greetings from Vienna

    Lo Ryan,

    I can totally understand your frustration but better calm down mate :)
    We are all just humans and we make mistakes. I read the Archiact team apologized for their fault underrating the work efforts needed for judging the submissions and the resources the CVR would consume.

    I think that both sides learned a lot of things during this competition!

    Been following up with them. Poor managing I guess. Lack of updates/transparency.

    Been tweeting them and also on Facebook page. Here's the response from the fb page

    "Hello Erwin!

    We are working hard to judge all of the entries, and hope to have an answer by the end of next week!"
