Well it wasn’t easy, but with the help of our awesome preliminary judges, we selected our semi-finalists in each category. They are the top 5 (or more) from our mailed-in entries and the top 5 (or more) from our emailed entries. Next, our judges will select the top FIVE semi-finalists in each category. Those will be our contest finalists, and those finalists will go to our guest judges who will choose one winner in each category.
Let’s give a HUGE congratulations to our 2016 Semi-Finalists!
