Olympic 50p designs... What happens next?

To anyone out there feeling a little unrested by the quietness of the competition trail, fear not. The judging is currently being undertaken and the wait is on until November 2009. All winners will be notified by email and announced. If you don't hear anything - I'm afraid the hard truth will have to be realised!
