Well, the judging is over. And the competition was intense!
There were so many outstanding entries this time around, it was a delightful challenge to come to a decision. And it’s been truly wonderful to have a new mix of talent participate in each new contest.
I needed expert advice on this one and so I consulted my four cats and chose the Best of the Best.
