Do you withdraw your poem so as not to see the offending contest on your list? Contact the contest sponsor? Ignore it and hope that some month it will be finalized? I'm a bit frustrated because contests are one of my motivators for sitting down and writing poems, but I have entered three that have now passed their end dates. One is only a couple of weeks over, but the other two have been finished for more than a month! I contacted one of the contest organizers a couple weeks after the deadline had passed and was told that she would get to it in the next week, but nothing changed. I don't want to harass her, but it irks me that so many people took the time to write poems and enter the contest for naught. Suggestions?

The contest do motivate me to write as well. On my points view it says I have one top ten finish but I have no idea where. I can't find it on the list of contest winners.
