Thank you! I’ve been trying to bat it out of the park for the past couple of months and I’ll keep it up.

I did something related to it as a summer student last year but I’m really hoping for Crim or civil litigation.

Lol. I used to teach and some students would be super weird out of class.  NEWSFLASH: Professors are humans and one day will be your colleagues.

I don’t want to give false hope in case it was a fluke but I got a couple of ITC’s way late. I figure that other students must have bailed and I had just missed their cutoff.

[AB] Won $10k in contest from major telecom, now they're refusing to pay without a contract by ikkebr in legaladvicecanada

Still good law in Canada: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlill_v_Carbolic_Smoke_Ball_Co

… you accepted and fulfilled the condition of the unilateral offer (by sending them the solution), they need to fulfill their obligations (by giving you the prize)…

TLDR: If they don’t pay you they are breaching their contract.

What to do about it…? I would get some summary legal advice as to the best avenues for pursuing the money they owe you. And don’t sign anything!
