    How will the entries be presented to the 'Mega judges' ?
    Will they know who's taken them?

    They will look at the entry thread and therefore, they will know who's taken them. Except for me. Mine will be sanitized as I feel it's particularly important for me to be impartial whenever possibly. I just feel I judge better that way.

    I am training 36 new hires and next weekend is filled with event shooting.

    I might have to shoot an empty hour glass!
    Thanks,

    Before this theme, I never thought I would be looking at Accuweather for MORE potential thunderstorms!! We've already set records up here...24 and counting this summer - normal is 12. Can't wait to see the entries trickle in.
