Hey Zen,
Thanks again for putting this together it was a fun little contest. I did a couple of things I thought were pretty cool that I might not have put together normally.

A few things that I would consider revising if you ever do it again in the future.

1. I would limit the types of events to things that everyone can easily participate in. The video event and the 3d event were cool, but I think because of the software that people use it kind of limited who was able to compete. So you basically had people in the video event that didn't compete in the rest.

2. I think the events that were the most sucessful as far as interesting entries were the ones with the most restrictions. For instance the PS only event I think had the most interesting stuff. Some of the other events like the photochop event I think weren't as sucessful because the rules were so broad you could enter almost anything. I think by forcing people to do things that might be outside of their comfort zone, you get the most interesting and creative results.

3. Shorten the number of events to maybe 4, it seemed to run out of steam toward the end.

Anyway, good job. If you ever need a judge for any future events, let me know.
