A huge thank you to our panel of judges: Martin, William, Chad, and our Youth Specialist Judge Steph, for their careful reviews, and to Jim, our Qualifying Judge, for ensuring all entries were ready for evaluation.
We’re also grateful to Bogdan for the stunning cover art, capturing this year’s theme, "Full Circle."
