Well there were a few delays (mostly me) but I have finally tallied the results for judged part of the contest as well as drawn the random results for the book prizes. For those interested I went with a very high tech approach on the random drawing. I typed out the entry titles (not user names) in Word, printed it out, cut them up into strips, and had my wife pull them out of a bowl! We thought about having our 2 year old daughter Emily do the honors but figured she would pull out more than one at a time. As it was she got one of the non-winning entry slips and colored on it with crayon.

I want to thank everyone who contributed articles and reviews to this contest. I know many of you didn't do it for the prizes and I appreciate that even more. I may do next years contest a little differently, as this was obviously a learning experience, but all in all it turned out great.

Here is the page that lists all the winners.
