Old Friends show not judged yet

Is anyone else entered in the Old Friends Benefit show? I entered several months ago in the middle of summer, and just keep seeing "judging in progress." As far as I know, no results have come in for months. Does anyone know of any updates there?

It’s a single judge show with a lot of classes so may take some time to complete, especially if the judge has a busy schedule. I have gotten a lot of results from this show already, if that’s any help.

@Cavalier90: This must be frustrating for sure. I would ask for a refund.

The Old Friends Benefit show closed for judging 21 July 2025. It's been over 3 months, and the show remains in limbo ("Judging in progress") with apparently no updates, no notices, no emails, or anything of the sort to indicate the show is progressing.

As a showholder myself, I find this totally unacceptable & irresponsible to entrants who shelled out $5.00 - only to have this show drag out for months on end.

All other online photo shows that I know of, (TOPSA, AMAHA, MHOSS, VCMEC, etc) are judged & completed within a MONTH after closing.
This has become the accepted standard across all online model horse shows & clubs.

If a showholder cannot take responsibility for judging their show in a timely manner (within a month, at the most), then they shouldn't be hosting any shows at all, let alone judging, IMO.

I have gotten some results from that show trickling in, but I agree, it's not good to take so long.

I'm in the same boat. I posted something a few weeks ago and was told omhps will follow-up for an internal progress update at the 3 months mark, so maybe that update will get shared here too. It's frustrating when the show has cost money to enter. It was also a fundraiser, and there's been no update about the amount raised or the donation that was made.

I've updated all of my photos for other shows at this point, so any classes I entered using alternate images may not even have an image showing anymore. Really defeats the purpose of having entered unfortunately.

Your entries will revert to the main image if you deleted the alternate image, or they'll go to the new image if you changed it.

That said, yes, it being a fundraiser, it would be neat to know how much was raised.
