Sponsor prizes sometimes get delayed and will ship out separately from the instructables prize pack(t-shirt,patch,stickers). Ibles sometimes has to wait for all contest winners to respond to send one list to the sponsor to then send out the prize. The sponsor then has to get their act together to order and ship the prize. I'm sure the holidays might have impacted that process. I have gotten a few prizes that were shipped as purchases through Amazon so don't expect to be notified when the actual sponsor prize may ship or get a tracking number. It'll show up. You have to be patient.
