Look at the 4th paragraph of "The Australian" article you have posted at the start of this thread.

Also look at the 20th June press release under "$50,000 Seasprite Offer" on my DICKSMITHFLYER site.

I will phone the judges on Tuesday and see if they are happy to have their names released.

I will also post on Tuesday the relevant comments made by the judges as to why they believed the entrants did not deserve to be given the award.

The opening paragraph of "The Australian" article is incorrect. I was not involved in making the decision and would have been very happy for the money to have gone to a journalist. The cost was the same to me either way. I did not reneg on anything. Look forward to your correction

And don't believe everything you read in the media - from my experience errors are often made as in this case.
