@I JethroBT (WMF): Although we finished the contest on time after rehabilitation in the middle of the covid crisis, unexpected consequences, as we had a lot of difficulties receiving funds due to the global shutdown of international flights, the distribution of gifts to the winners is still being finalized.

We are fully aware of the inconvenience to your services of the WMF grants and are sincerely regretful for this delay.

We are in the process of finalizing the receipt of the invoices and distribution of the gifts to the rest of the winners, we will finalize this by the end of November, however we would like your approval to change the deadline to around December 15, 2020.
