Judges

The Assegai's events company, Jumping Dust, was robbed two days prior to the Assegai Banquet and had all their equipment, computers, etc. stolen. The audiovisual presentation used at the Banquet was re-created in just 48 hours... however, an important mistake was made: the incorrect list of judges was used. The Assegais offer a huge apology to all the judges who worked around the clock over two judging weekends to evaluate the hundreds of entries. They are:
