    Having entered the festival in multiple categories we were delighted when we won in three different categories. The festival reached out and said they had trophies for us which they would post if we covered shipping. I sent them the ~$80 (overseas shipping) and they suddenly went completely dark.

    I have sent several emails and several more Instagram messages with no response. To summarise, they scammed us out of $80.
