    This probably relates a bit more to "purchase" prize promotions but if the company "sponsored" the competition they could be jointly liable, hard to tell how the ASA looked at it as they didn't investigate the complaint.
    Some promotions, those in which more than one party benefits (for example, in terms of branding, promotion or revenue) are joint promotions or co-promotions. In joint promotions or co-promotions all parties are considered responsible and will be named by the ASA in the event of a complaint. (A company that provides the prizes or gifts for a promotion is not necessarily a joint promoter)

    and
    8.1 Promoters are responsible for all aspects and all stages of their promotions

    Ask the promoter on a public forum, eg Twitter / Facebook - Tag with #wheresmyprize etc..
    breathe in, breathe out- You're alive! Everything else is a bonus, right? RIGHT??
