-Each of the 10 entries was judged by 3 additional BIS judges.

-All scores given to each entry were averaged together to determine the entry's final score.  Thus, between five and six scores were used for each entry.

Once again I was honestly shocked at how incredibly close the competition was.  Kudos to all of you.  All 10 of you are now eligible to request your scorecards/comments from me.  I would definitely encourage it, as each of you has a ton of feedback on your work!

Without further ado:
