Here we go. The first wave of awards for the photo contest winners. Winner has a number of meanings as you will see. Some prizes go to the best art. Some for other reasons. Included in tonights awards are the four category winners as well as the three Canada-only prizes. And please bear with me as I am doing some fancy pants table HTML work on this page and I have no idea if I am going to get this right. I will put the winners and gift givers will be put in contact by email.

I hope that table works the first time. I am having a delay in posting and display that makes for an effect not unlike working on 1993-esque Pentium 17 with a 128 modem. So, cross your fingers along with me and lets get these prizes awarded... hey, it worked OK. This internet thing may take off after all.
