Help! Has anyone else sent a book off for the writing competition and got a confirmation email?

Hi. Posting in here for traffic. I sent off my 8,000 words to the book publishing competition thingy but haven't had any sort of confirmation email. Then I sent off a really awful 'should we get a confirmation email' email, and still haven't heard back so now I sound really desperate and grabby. There is no chance on this earth that my frankly inferior stab at novel-writing will get anywhere, but I just don't want it floating around in the ether and not arriving at the proper destination!

Has anyone a clue as to what to expect?

HQ any ideas?

Send the email again with the "read receipt" ticked so that you can see it has arrived.

Blimey, that's genius! I also just found the 'competition' section on here so will post in there too. Thanks.
