> The judges live in Europe, North America, South America, Central

> I have never revealed to anyone, even the judges themselves, who the

> judges is me, and even I can't tell which scores come from which  
> judge. The judges cannot find out how other judges have rated an  
> image, or who the other judges are.

> Keep that in mind when you read this month's results:

> First prize: Alastair Firkin
> Second prize: Chris Williams
> Third prize: Alastair Firkin
