Quick question: is there a simple overview that tells us which prizes are/aren't available to people living outside of the Continental United States?

Quick question: is there a simple overview that tells us which prizes are/aren't available to people living outside of the Continental United States? I think under most circumstances, if someone who lives outside the US wins a Treasure/prize, and is willing to pay the extra costs to ship it internationally, which could be significant depending on size and weight, then the treasure would be shipped and awarded. However, if not willing to pay the extra costs or it just isn't economical, then the prize would be forfeited to a possible second place winner. |

I think under most circumstances,... Any chance of a more definite answer? Call me crazy, but when I enter a competition I like to know beforehand if I'm eligible for a prize or not. |

It is up to each contributor...... I will ask if cost of shipping is covered if they are each willing- and get back to you..... two of the hunts are BOTG and require the retrieval of a proxy (hidden in the Continental US)... The MW Hunt is armchair and I am willing to ship to an international winner..... |

Thanks for the quick reply, looking forward to the answers. I probably wouldn't mind paying for shipping, but if there are prizes where this isn't even an option then I'd like to know beforehand. |

I will not be shipping my prize (silver hare necklace) overseas, however, if someone outside the US wants to play my hunt, I can offer a smaller prize that can be sent in a standard envelope, usually in the form of old paper money. If overseas players are interested in winning this smaller prize, this option will be available.

For International Shipping: Forgotten History Hunt has answered above, who will substitute the prize to something more economical for shipping. That is a great idea..... I have not heard back from Robert Brewer yet, about the Walking Stick prize, but the others, if cost is covered, are willing to ship internationally. Should be noted the Amazon Gift Cards in Martin's hunt are valid US only. The Treasure Chests in the drawings would be shipped as well....if cost covered.

My prizes are the artwork used for the hunt, and a copy of the Masquerade book. I am willing to ship outside of the US if the difference in shipping costs is paid by the winner. However, something such as the book can probably be purchased at a price lower than what it would cost to ship overseas. The artwork, on the otherhand, will be expensive to ship, plus I would insist on adding insurance to that cost. But if someone is willing to pay for that, it is just another trip to the Post Office for me.
I would like to see more international participants. But sadly, the cost of sending prizes your way has become so very costly.

Thank you all for the information. While the restricted availability to international hunters is regrettable, I think it's best to be upfront about these things. Would still love to hear about Robert Brewer's prize...
A donation has been made, an email has been sent and I'm looking forward to Saturday! Any indication around what part of the day the PDF will be online?

I sent a message to Robert Brewer. I will let you know if he replies.
Also, Jenny will be posting the pdf, and I am not sure of the time, sorry.

No need to apologize. It would just be nice if Jenny could give an indication. That way, if the PDF is to be published late in the day, I won't spend my whole Saturday checking the forum every five minutes in vain. |
