When will they announce the winner?
I think the initial announcement said it would be around June 20, 2007. But I'm not certain.
Today is June 29th 2007. Has Vanity Fair announced its Essay Contest Winners on "What Is Reality To Americans Today?" yet? If not, when will they be announced and where posted?
Thanks much!

I'm really not sure. I'd suggest that you check with the magazine's Web site/contact the magazine for more information.
