    Well done on getting the prize in the end (I certainly don't remember there being anything at the time about a runner up prize)
  • Well done on sorting it. If you were the runner up as they say, then where is the first prize winner?
    Is their name on their fb page?

    Perhaps just hold back until you see what they send. They might yet send you a personal apology with your prize. It could be as simple as that they made a mistake, but were worried about what to say to you about it before seeking advice, in case what they said had any legal implications. If it was me, I think I would still give them another chance to redeem themselves before writing them off as a company. Regardless well done for persevering and don't let it rob you of the pleasure of what is a very nice win.

    Congrats!

    When you talk down to others it says more about you than them.
