Congratulations winners, honorable mentions and everyone for the spirit to enter.

Thanks everyone for a huge turnout of nearly 200 groomers and over 400 entries that blew the judges away! The time and effort to judge that many entries in the same class is extreme. It took hours and hours to judge. Thank you Melisse Verplank, Jodi Murphy and Lisa Leady for taking on such a daunting task.

Thanks for Double K for bringing the opportunity to so many and such great prizes, and we look forward to another contest. What other company offers the online communities of groomers such an opportunity to win thousands and thousands, and fun?

I got Honorable Mention! I can't even believe that!

I'm with you. I thought I had zero chance, so getting an Honorable Mention is almost like winning.

I would like to thank the academy for this honor.

Congratulations to all the winners and everyone brave enough to enter.

I just found out I won second place! I'm so thrilled I can't stand myself! I logged in this morning and had a message from Sibes I did'nt even know! This the first grooming type contest I have ever entered and I still can't believe it. There were so many great grooms entered, I don't know how the judges do it. My entries were 309, 310 and 399. Thank you judges and everyone involved! Congratulations to the other winners and honorable mentions.

When Canine Crazy got back to me....she was hoping maybe she gets a certificate or something...LOL!

Fantastic job everyone that entered....the grooms looked spectacular!

Hats off to the Judges...you guys did a great job! Now take a vacation!

Hey, Stephen, this might be a no-go.... but do the honorable mentions get anything, like a piece of paper/awards certificate? Something to put on the wall? That would be totally amazing!
