Thank you to the other judges (Noodle, Keshen, 0ldscratch, in addition to myself) and to all our entrants for support of the contest.  Thanks as well to Cheshire for agreeing to donate the 1st prize.  Congratulations to everyone who completed a film for this contest and especially to the winners.

Films were judged in three categories: Story (30%), Theme (20%), and Presentation (50%).  Note that all though score deficits are large, they are not necessarily a direct indicator of quality as determined by the judges -- they are based on rankings in the respective categories.  Effectively, a zero in any category is roughly 15th place in that category, though the system was really only designed to accurately indicate results for the top 10 entries.
