I found out about the winners at around 3PM on Saturday when the list was posted outside the judging room. I enjoyed the whole process of the costume contest, and I'm insanely happy I was allowed to participate, since I had worried I might not be able to get in.
It's not about the prizes, of course. I'm more than happy with the knowledge I got second place I just wanted to make sure I had been given the right information about the prize situation. Judging by your responces, it seems I was.
