Dunedin fashion graduate Emily Scott has finally received
the $12,500 prize money she won in an Australasian fashion
competition, more than two months after being crowned the
winner.
Last week it was revealed that the 21-year-old had not
received any of the promised prizes - including A$10,000 cash
($NZ12,500), a A$5000 website, a spread in CIELO magazine and
cosmetics and an accessories gift pack from the Australian
Graduates Fashion Week contest in Sydney last November.
After inquiries from APNZ, event organiser Elmedin Kumalic
got in touch with Otago Polytechnic to say the money would be
in Ms Scott's bank account between Monday and Wednesday this
week.
Ms Scott today said the money had turned up in her account.
The cash had initially been promised before Christmas.
