As we near the end of the first quarter for the next batch of Best of the Best Contenders, this is our list so far (I will add as the year progresses).
You can't win if you don't enter! There have been some amazing entries this quarter! I have a feeling it's going to be a tight race to the finish next year. Who will get the 8th and 9th spots for the last two topics?
Stay tuned...
Who will win those top three spots and receive the cash prizes?
1st place - $100
2nd place - $50
3re place -$25
And with the winners for this past week being announced, we have our full year's Best of the Best contenders! Who will win? We'll find out in July (right before the next quarter start)!
