I just read the final list of judges lined up! Paige Wheeler, Leah Hultenschmidt and 1 other I can’t remember at the moment. This is a great contest to enter, the feedback is helpful and the opportunity for both pubbed & unpubbed this year could open a new door for alot of people. Thanks for posting this.
