Introduction

The number of participants in contest 23 was nice. There weren't too many and not too few participants. I'm sure that everyone who participated had lots of fun building the bridges.

Anyway, receiving all the bridges was a great pleasure. What I was surprised about is, that the clean winner's bridge was $500 (!) cheaper than the 2nd place bridge!
Also the dirty category had a surprise for me. There were some bridges for less than 6k! But, although there were many pairs and triples of bridges with the same cost (and building good bridges fast was important once again) it wasn't too close.

As always, any feedback on the contest is welcome. Please post your thoughts in this forum thread. Each of the winners (clean category winner, dirty category winner and the artistic winner) will get an eternal place in the Hall Of Fame (if he doesn't have one yet) once Guilderoy gets the necessary information from them. The bridge cost discussion forum is no longer password-protected until the next contest starts. For your reference, the rules/prizes page and the contest level file can still be found here.

Last but not least I'd like to thank Guilderoy and Mendel for their help and Chronic Logic for providing the prices. Running this contest was a great pleasure and a privilege.

Now, I won't put you on the rack anymore, the results:

• Detailed winners introduction
• Compact winners summary
• All entries: summary
