Outside the entrance
Visible inside are (l–r) Colleen Kobe, Dave Estrem, Otto Rajtora, Burton Loupee, and Walker Kelly (green shirt).
The signs on either side of the entrance and on the anti-theft scanners say, “EISEF HQ / NO • TEACHERS • PARENTS • STUDENTS / PAST THIS POINT”. We really want to keep these people from seeing the judges’ scores and possibly influencing the scores. We hope the signs helped….
The view inside
At left are the coffee makers, with the doughnuts just beyond. In the back half of the room, the different judging divisional areas line the walls, with the judges’ training area in the back right corner. In the middle left are fruits and ice chests filled with pop and bottled water. Out of frame to the left is the office area for the Awards and Judging committees.
The office
