    ;) Well it's the last day of June, and still no 12 Days of Christmas certificates.
    Will July be the magic month?
    Will 2025 certificates ever appear?
    Could this be the end of this event?
    So many questions, so much time has passed.
    Really hoping this gets resolved.

    Joe - looks like you got it ! Woo-Hoo ! :):):)

    If you're looking for a paper copy - did you send in your certificate fee?

    Have you contacted the organizer of the event K2RYD? What is their answer when asked about the delay?

    He’s not talking about the QRZ Award. He’s talking about the Special Event from K2RYD. Visit her QRZ page for more info.

    I have reached out a few times, but communication has been spotty.
    I was told they had some " issues" a few months ago, but recent attempts have gone unanswered.

    Unfortunately, no.
    What you're looking at the 12 Days of QRZ.
    That is another great event, but different from The 12 days of Christmas event.

    Wow - surely something has gone sideways in the promoter's world to result in such a blackout. That's too bad - I hope they are OK

    I agree, that's why I posted on this site, hopefully someone can shed some light.
    I check the website on a fairly regular basis, awhile back it showed on the website a "test" for the event in the drop down box, I thought at that time we were getting close, but sadly that test drop down disappeared and nothing since.

    I contacted K2RYD several times since February. It's the same answer that it was in February thru June. She's working on it. I also was informed that there's a medical issue with the Creator of the Certificate.

    I know that I'm being pessimistic, but I have a feeling there won't be a certificate this year. Something isn't right after this long of a period.

    I just sent another inquiry to the certificate website, not surprising that it has once again gone unanswered.

    I suppose on the bright side, over the past week or two, the certificate website has been loading rather than 404ing out half the time or taking a long time to load. That may point to some progress? http://cert.elemcoshopfloor.com/
