On Friday, July 29th, Jim Watt, Berkley White, Dan Baldocchi and I spent over nine hours in the classroom today judging contest entries and preparing the final presentation slideshows. There were so many good entries that it was extremely difficult to select winners!
Berkley loves to say at these events, "All of you are winners; some are just more prize-challenged than others are."
The Digital Shootout photo contest works in an interesting way: participants can win place more than once, but can only go home with one prize. If a prior winner places again, he or she has a choice: keep the old prize or accept the new one. The discarded prizes are then auctioned off at the end of the ceremony, which can lead to some interesting twists -- and, a rowdy crowd. :)
During the course of the evening, there were over $10,000 in prizes awarded. Prizes were donated by Kararu Liveaboards, Backscatter, Sea & Sea/TUSA, Oceanic, Light & Motion, Optiquatics, Stahlsac, Ultralight Control Systems, Aqualung, Aeris, Reefnet, SeaVision, Eric Cheng, and James Watt.
Congratulations to you all! And now, on to the winning entries...
