The March monthly still clip contest results are in. Marshall Gorby, Bill Lackey, Chris Russell, Eric Albrecht, Adam Cairns and Sheri Lewis were all first place winners in March. Russell is still in first place with 214 points, followed by Gorby with 176, Tracy Boulian with 116 and Eric Albrecht with 114.

The point totals below do not include February results which apparently are being held hostage by Cory Dellenbach of the Shawano Leader in Wisconsin who said they were completed and would be shipped April 26. We were told the same thing on May 22. Anybody see a pattern here.

We are not alone in the clip contest judging dilemma. The January results for the NPPA Monthly Clip Contest have been released in only four of the twelve regions, and this using an online system for entering and judging which was supposed to eliminate this sort of thing.
A slideshow of the winners will be posted as soon as all the images are submitted.
