Tammy, Re: The $100 prize for the 1st place channel winners.
I was reading that the $100 prize is actually an online gift card, so it's not exactly the same as "cash money". You can verify this here: http://www.ourstage.com/about/prizes Towards the top it says:

$100 February Channel Prize All Music Channel Winners from the February competition will receive a $100 online gift card
Enter by 11:59:59 PM EST on February 19, 2009
Awarded to channel winners defined as the highest-ranking artist within a channel; Prizes awarded according to the OurStage monthly competition terms and conditions
For payout details, you'd have to check their competition "terms and conditions". I looked there, but the only place I saw more details about the prizes was on their contest rules page: http://www.ourstage.com/about/rules Here's what it says:
Quote
ONE (1) FIRST PRIZE FOR EACH CHANNEL on the site (one for each Channel winner who is not selected as a Grand Prize winner for each Contest Period): a $100 Online Gift Card. Gift card is subject to the terms and conditions stated thereon. Approximate retail value ("ARV") of each First Prize is $100. Other Partner Prizes may become available, and will be distributed at the sole discretion of Sponsor. Partner Prizes may also be subject to additional terms and conditions as determined solely by that Partner.
So the $100 gift card prize is based on an approximate retail value, but it doesn't say when you can expect to receive it. Probably they can't mail these out before they receive them from their sponsors. Sadly, if they are losing sponsors, they may have to change their prize/value structure.
Regardless, congratulations on your 1st place acheivement! Hopefully they'll clear this up soon and deliver your promised prize, whatever it is! Michael P.S. I'm able to login at OurStage, so I'm not sure why you seem to be getting blocked. Try sending Danny a PM (on JPF) and ask him to help you with this problem.
There's nothing remarkable about it. All one has to do is hit the right keys at the right time and the instrument plays itself. -- Johann Sebastian Bach
