Life and Landscape Photography

It has been almost a month since I posted here that I had won a printer.
I am very grateful that my picture was chosen, even more grateful if the printer I have won had arrived yet. No such luck. Considering that the magazine layout had been done probably several weeks before I received my copy and the winner had been chosen a lot earlier than that I'm perplexed as to what can possibly take so long. I jokingly tell people I will get it when it is superceded by another printer and they need to get rid of old stock of the model I won.
Last month Australian Photography contacted me about another picture I had submitted and was possibly going to be printed in the July edition, that is 2 months before release of that edition. So it is possible that up to 2 months in advance of receiving the magazine they know who wins what, so why the delay?
Instead of asking you maybe I should ask them.
