Old Friends show not judged yet

Thursday, October 23, 2025 4:50 PMIs 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?

Thursday, October 23, 2025 7:34 PMIt’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.

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.

Thursday, October 30, 2025 1:22 AMI'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.

Saturday, November 1, 2025 10:37 AMYour 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.
