We no longer enter physical entries, but had 113 digital entries. 

The judges discussed many of the images as Challenges. This is where we learn the most from the judges’ opinions.

We had 67 that scored 80 or above (President’s Award) 67/113 or 59%. 

We had 16 that scored 85 – 89, and 1 scored above 90.

I want to thank my great print crew: Peter Yu, Megan Drane and Beth Genengels. Thanks to Peter Yu for running the new print handling and scoring system.

Sincerely,

Bruce Van Pelt, Chairman
