I don’t know about you, but I think last night’s event went pretty well.
After reviewing the 45 submissions this year, the judges identified the TOP 10 (plus 1).
There was a 3 way tie for the 9th spot so I allowed for 11 to enter Round 2.
Dana Brown
Hollie Brown
KC Collins
David Culpepper
Dieter Geisler
Emma Hadzi Antich
Becky Joye
Vladimir Mejia
Andrea Nguyen
Sarah Rangel
Jason Webb
In Round 2 the judges talked about each of the TOP10 (plus 1) works. And left only 4 standing.

These TOP4 were taken into a room for waterboarding “studio visits” as the audience watched outside.
As the judges deliberated on the winner of the solo show at grayDUCK Gallery, we had a special recognition by Honorary Judge, Chloe Yingst (winner of last year’s Eyes Got It!). Chloe selected Emma Hadzi Antich to be featured at 1319Rosewood for the remaining duration of EAST (Nov19-20). So come on out! Lakes Were Rivers & Chris Cody are also exhibiting work here.
Then the moment everyone was waiting for… Hollie Brown was crowned the winner!
I’ll tell you ’bout what I sees.
Sorry about the lack of Ustream last night. There were some tech issues and the feed for Round 3 took precedent over being able to stream.
If there is a great video editor who wants to lend a hand in making the bits of video I have watchable, I’d love to have your help…
