Hello, As mentioned yesterday, I am posting Sonja's answer to my email. This answer was expected. Hopefully they can work it out for contests to come. MAC
****************** Hi Marc-André, Thank you for your email. I can understand your frustration and I agree with you that there are a lot of extremely talented artists in Quebec that would like to take part in the contest. As you already mentioned it is not easy to run a contest in Quebec. The government agency, the Régie des alcools des courses et des jeux, makes it more difficult for companies to run contests in Quebec as there are many additional rules and regulations that have to be abided by. This is the first contest we have run on AREA so I hope you understand that this is a learning process. We will certainly take your comments into consideration for any contests that we may run in the future. I appreciate your understanding. If you have any other questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact me. Kind regards, Sonja Muller
