DMBLGIT March 2009 WINNERS!
Posted on Mar 31 in DMBLGITby NikaPrint
[I apologize that this was not posted first thing in the morning. One of our 8 dairy goats decided to have kids this morning!]
I want to thank each and every one of the 61 contestants for entering their beautiful photos for this round of DMBLGIT. You people are just amazing! I knew when the images were coming in that it was going to be hard to judge.
As per the rules of DMBLGIT the judging went as follows:
Each image could get anything from a 1 (lowest) to a 10 (highest) score for each category.
The three categories:
- Aesthetics
- Edibility
- Originality
Over-all winners were selected by adding the scores of each category and then the sums from each judge were averaged together.
You will see below that we had ties in various places, all according to the numbers.
After these winners were chosen, they were redacted from the scoring in the next round. Once I did that, I selected the image with the highest score in each category.
As the host (and number cruncher and image collator and general administratix) I got to select an image that wins the host prize.
Just as a reminder, the judges for this month, other than myself, were:
- Curt, at the Bucky’s BBQ and Bread blog
- Bee, at the jugalbandi blog
- Vera at the Baking Obsession blog
- Ilva, at the Lucullian Delights blog
So, without further delay, here are our over-all winners
