Help prize not been sent

I won a prize back in October from the Richmond and Twickenham Times. I live in Sheffield so obviously not my local paper. I emailed Murad skincare with which products I would like as requested. since that email I have heard nothing. I have emailed them frequently and they have not replied to any of my emails. I am feeling like giving up but part of me thinks this is not right. Any advice greatfully received.

best wishes

    When I had a prize that didn't arrive despite emails I researched the company (the prize provider) online until I had various contact details and then started emailing them in turn and I was very persistent. I would try that first, nicely, and then as a further last resort you could inform them that you'll be contacting the Advertising Standards Agency if you receive no response. Also if the prize provider has a facebook/twitter page you could raise the question on there in public as its more likely to get an immediate response!
    Many thanks to everyone who posts competitions and works so hard to provide all the answers!
    Best wins this year so far: £100 Hobbycraft Voucher, £50 cash, GoPro Camera
