    I would send them a msg, there might be a bit of a delay because of Christmas and stuff but there's no harm in poking them now, it's been long enough.

    (Standard type terms are 28 days (although, it obviously depends on the actual competition terms), so you're within that range to at least ask them)
  • I tend to wait a month before sending a friendly 'when can I expect delivery, please' message.
    Living thriftily ;) most of the time
