July 9, 2007

You waited patiently, now here come the results to the DMBLGIT June 2007 Edition! There were three main categories: Edibility, Originality and Aesthetics, an Overall Winner Category, and a total of 116 entries. We were 6 people to judge (Matt, Aun, Jules, Stretch, Fred and myself). I would like to extend a special thanks to my great team of judges, for the effort and time spent scoring every one of these great pictures. Merci ! You did a great job!

So many beautiful photographs! And I am in awe of the food styling, something I seem to have so little imagination for! (I think I'm always focused on eating when it's time to style the food!)

Dang Bea! Did you graph all those best 10 lists out? Great job! I keep wanting to participate in DMBLGIT but....nevermind, one day I WILL remember!

A BIG GIANT CONGRATS to all who participated and to the winners as well! I must tell you that I had such a hard time judging - there were so many excellent submissions!
Béa · July 10, 2007
Anita, as to the badges, you probably should check with the person who hosted the May edition (I already forgot!). He or she should be able to let you know.
Anita · July 10, 2007
Oh, they're all so gorgeous! What a difficult time for the judges... On an administrative note; Were there badges that I missed for the May edition?

Lynn · July 19, 2007
Wow, what a nice thing to find out after returning from my trip! Thank you to all the judges. This is a huge honor! Bea, I can't believe you graphed all the top ten in each category. It must've been so much work, and thanks for offering to help in France. Luckily I somehow managed to not get lost. And Aun, you'll definitely get a black forest cake, with griottes I hauled back from Paris!

Hey just wanted to give you a brief heads up and let you know a few of the images aren't loading correctly. I'm not sure why but I think its a linking issue. I've tried it in two different web browsers and both show the same results.
