My entry may not fit the criteria of this contest, idk. If it doesn't, obviously you have the right to remove it.

Am withdrawing my entry in this contest because there may be something wrong with the judging. It is nearly a week since the close of the contest and there seems to be over 50% of the entries un-reviewed.
Or worse, you've abandoned the contest and judging altogether. Whatever the case, if the contest is so protracted as this one appears to be, you ought notify the entrants of your intentions so they are aware.
