Wow I can't wait to see all of the finalists. I entered but really don't expect to be a finalist, I just wanted to get my feet wet for I have never entered a national contest before. Can't wait to see who from BD made the finalist list.
I hate wishing my life away but I hope May 15th hurries and gets here.

Nothing would ever happen if not for wishing, Sue!

I have to second everything you said Sue! I can't wait and I hope there are some regulars on the forums here that made it!
Good luck to all of you guys. I hope that each of you gets in the finals. 20 from 2000 is a lot of culling as it were to get to the best. I would not want that job personally. I wouldn't be able to choose. I'd want everyone to win. *grinz* Thankfully, I don't have to judge such things. I'm getting a bit antsy myself. I hate waiting for anything.

Well, it's actually 180 finalists from 2000 entries, but that's still a daunting task! I figured it would take longer than a week though. Good luck to everyone!
yeah, I have to admit, with 2000 entries, I am not getting my hopes up that any of my entries made the finals, but I can't wait to see if maybe something did! Its impossible to guess what will strike the fancy of the judges.

One chance in eleven isn't tough odds, so good luck! (I did the math twice -- it is actually 9 in 100 or 9%.)
