Well the judges of the IOCCC always make the announcements of the winners first to the public often at some event (this year it was the Vintage Computer Festival), then the judges notify the winners, soon after they send the winners the source tar ball with the judges' write-ups. The winners test the tar ball build process for their code and others, correct any serious mistakes with packaging, provide feedback on the comments, and sometimes they are allowed to correct serious bugs in their entries normally for portability. After that is all done, about a month or so later the the official tar ball is released to the public.
As mentioned in the IOCCC annoucement of the winners, they expect to have the tar ball ready for mid-December.
Actually having mentioned I won previous years of the IOCCC on my CV has helped me get interviews. Some are just curious, others want to know how wacko I might be.
