It's even more if you have an account in Japan and can spend it there!
It's a very nice amount!

I send an email with the images to that email direccion and the
email is
rejected, this is the messaje:

Technical details of permanent failure:
PERM_FAILURE: SMTP Error (state 13): 550 <[email protected]>:
Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table

why?

The web page version of the contest info contains:
Note the domain is ruby-assn.org

Perhaps you can retry?

-Rob

P.S. I have nothing to do with the contest, I was just curious.

Sorry, it was a wrong address. The correct address is
