<p />Finally. Yes, the judges have judged, the numbers have been crunched and ciphered and the winners gleaned and chosen.... at last![p]There are five winners in all... one winner per category and an overall Grand Prize Grand Champion winner.[p]Nature Boy, The Naked Whiz, HolySmokes, WooKitties and I awarded all of the 152 submitted photos with a number from 1 to 10... with 1 being the lowest score and 10 being the highest.
The photo with the highest score in it's category won that category and the photo with the highest score overall, of all the categories, won the coveted title of Grand Champion. [p]The winners of the BGE in Any Situation, Food, General and People, Eggers, Yahoos and Goombahs categories will all receive:[p]~ A bottle of Rib Stars Rib Rub... Donated by Rick Salmon[p]~ A custom made "Lucy"...

    WooDoggies,
    Thanks again, John, Chris, and Doug for all your great work and support.[p]I want to step in just long enough to thank everyone for the great entries. I really enjoyed judging
    (though it took a long time and it was a huge challenge!!!), and just watching all of the entries come in.[p]
    The winners really do represent the best of the best of the best... with honors![p]
    My congratulations to the winners, and every entrant. I wish everyone could have won something...
    it really was my pleasure to review each and every one of the entries.[p]HolySmokes.

    WooDoggies, WooKitties, Holysmokes and Nature Boy,[p]Thank you for taking the time for this contest. Of all the things that I have seen "develop" (get it Max?) on line, this is the coolest. Watching eveyone post their pictures and waiting for the results was a nice little bonus on the enjoyment of life. Enjoyment of life and people seems to be the foundation of this forum. That's why I still read it after 2 years.
    Happy Friday, Scott

    WooDoggies,
    I freaked when I saw this photo was not in the food winners. Now I see why![p]Good job Clay. This is the quality of a fancy food magazine cover photo. I see you are not only handy with the wood carving tools and kneeding the dough, but awfully capable behind a shutter button as well...with a keen eye for lighting.[p]Okay...now...what do I gotta do to get an idea how to make bread like that?? I would love a little lesson....or even a little receipe to get me started!
    Congrats
    Chris

    Wow! A "home run"! Thank you for this NB. Hey, I'll leave the light on. Joan and I are coming to Waldorf this year so, if I don't see you before, I maybe can bake you a loaf there........

  • WooDoggies, Nature Boy, The Naked Whiz, HolySmokes, WooKitties, [p]Woo, Thanks for running this and many thanks to the judges. With all those beautiful submissions, I feel for you all, you had a difficult process.[p] I have checked this board every 15 minutes for the last 6 weeks, looking for the results. I really need to take a break now, and bbq something. LOL. [p]I hope your all up for it again next year, because I am taking pics at a RAPID pace. To everybody that submitted, you keep taking more pics too. For those of you who don't post pics, for whatever reason, do it, JUST DO IT. I love seeing any pic. I want to see pics like that in Jan 2007. [p]I like Max's idea about getting all those pics somewhere to reference them.[p]Again, Great Job! I haven't been more giddy since the night before I brought home my egg. LOL[p]E
  • WooDoggies,
    Thanks ladies and gents! Looks like I got it by the skin on my teeth. There were alot of great shots and I feel honored to be a part of this. Thanks Woo for encouraging me to submit some photos.[p]BBQ Bob
