DISCLAIMER: If any First Round Judge is assigned an Entry with which she or he feels they might be familiar, it is up to the First Round Judge to contact the Coordinator to recuse themselves from judging the Entry. All judges are to remain anonymous until winners are announced. Failure to do so by the First Round Judge will result in the disqualification of the Entry.
