Hi, I wrote my first article on this topic. Below is the link for that. https://hashnode.com/post/i-thought-i-was-not-cut-out-for-tech-womenwhotech-cl0xfdgmz07wuk7nv8qcmf9hu
I was just curious to know whether I was eligible for the hashnode t-shirt or not because I have yet not received any link regarding that.
Hi there, your post didn't go through the challenge because it was posted under the /post, instead of your blog.
That hides it from the Hashnode community which means we couldn't see it in time in order to evaluate it.
I haven't received any claim link yet related to T-shirt Am I eligible for T-shirt Please reply me.. Ale Thomas Obiagba Mary Ifeoma
I also wrote an article, and I haven't seen anything about the T-shirt. I also see many people asking... Probably no one has received yet. I wouldn't know.
Hi Obiagba Mary Ifeoma, we've sent the emails to all eligible winners months ago.
Can you please check the spam emails? You should have received an email that ends with hashnode.com
Many people have received their t-shirts and you can see many of them on Twitter, sharing a photo with it :)
Alright then Eleftheria Batsou I guess i didn't qualify since I didn't receive any email.

Hey Ravleen, yes, if you wrote it before April 15th, it counts for the giveaway. We'll reach out to you soon with the link so you can claim it. :)
Yes, I have already written before 15th April but I do not know whether it has been published or not because I am not seeing my published article anywhere. That's why I am worried whether the article I wrote is published or not or I will have to write it again. Ale Thomas
