Celebrity Judges Panel
Kudos to an extraordinary team

Mission accomplished! The GamesTown 2010 organizers wish to recognize the enormous dedication shown by our panel of Celebrity Judges. Nancy Greene Raine, Steve Podborski, Simon Whitfield, Dr. Art Hister, and Dr. Rhonda Low all gave 110% in reviewing the Top 10 Finalists and selecting the three GamesTown 2010 winners. It certainly was a tough decision, but this team was up to the challenge. We’ve compiled some of the judges’ comments regarding the finalists in our judges chamber.
