John Cole (center, light blue shirt) discusses his project with two judges (facing him, to the left) while another judge looks on (far right of picture).
This picture shows how crowded it could be around the exhibits during judging time. On the left, behind John’s judges, one judge is talking to Stormy Templeton and another to Shelby Sieren. On the right side of this island of exhibits, beyond John’s engine, judges appear to be talking to Matthew Boddicker and Jordan Lightfoot.
