ASK THE EDITOR
Q: How do I tell if I won any of the contests listed on WinFreeFishingTackle.Com?

A: Whenever someone wins a contest, we attempt to email a notification. We also post the winners either on the homepage of the site that offered the contest, the forums of that site, or both. If you notice your name posted as a winner somewhere, but haven't received an email about winning, it is likely that a spam filter got in the way somewhere along the line. At this point you should contact First Light Net at editor@firstlight.net to claim your prize. Be sure to include your name, address, and the site or contest where you're listed as a winner!

Also, it helps to add "@firstlightnet.com" to your whitelist, so you don't miss out on those winner notification emails!

If you have a question, comment, or suggestion for us, shoot us an email - editor@firstlightnet.com
