I, too, entered a recipe.  I have not heard anything yet.

Hi! [:)]

Just to keep everyone on the same page- we just heard from the Bake-Off Team:

“We did start notifying potential finalists recently for the Bake-Off Contest.  The 100 recipes competing for $1 million at the contest finals will be announced on or about October 21, 2009 on www.bakeoff.com."

Thanks!  Are potential finalists being notified by e-mail, phone, regular mail?  :O)

I too am waiting patiently (well trying anyway, ha!) to hear if one of my recipes have been selected. I emailed them and this is the response I received:

 

Thank you for contacting General Mills regarding our Pillsbury Bake 44th Off.  In answer to your question, the potential winners are just being notified.  The 100 winners and their recipes will be announced on or about October 21, 2009 on www.bakeoff.com.  Winners are being notified however they can contact them. 
 
If there is anything else we can do concerning this matter, please let us know. 
Thank you.
 
Sincerely,

Was does Pillsbury mean by they are notifying "potential" finalists now? Aren't we all "potential" finalists?

I think they mean the top 100 potential finalists. I'll confirm with Customer Services. Sincerely, CC

Have all finalists been informed?

Have all the finalists been chosen (it's now 9/4) or is there still reason to hope? [:D]

Does anyone know the time frame for finalist notification?

I'm on pins and needles here!!!! Like, if I have not heard anything by say Monday, should I assume I am not a finalist?? I would just like to know so I don't hold on to false hope for the next month if all the calls have been made. Thanks, and good luck to all of us!!!
