Mercer: I’ll see if I can convince Beckett’s mama to let him come to the Awards ceremony to congratulate you in person (or at least smile for nodding to his papa the judge).

Scott: Wondering when you were going to get your slide-on, especially after the emails you sent Dan and me. Well done!

Carolyn: I’ve already begun to formulate my opening week 4-slide bio assignment for my 10th grade kids. Going to do it 3-4 times this school year to see how their personal ‘brand’ evolves, too.

Dan: You promised me there might not be any entries…so that I’d get the honor of being a judge without doing any work. Sheesh. I have to skip watching re-runs of “Taxi” this weekend now that it’s vitally clear that your contest has caught fire. But this is a good problem to have!

Still imagining doing this with students and what they would create!

Have a look at The Picture of Everything. Should be done by 2010.

I’m definitely impressed by the sampling thus far. As much as the content itself matters, the personality-by-design elements are catching my eye (no pun intended) most of all. At the end of the day, if the 4-slide submission is memorable and makes you a bit envious…it should rank high.

(Oh, and those that include a veiled, slightly hidden reference to my own blog in some completely unexpected way that makes my deal ol’ mum blush with pride will get extra judge points, too.)

Cheers to the submitters; cheers to the pied piper.
Christian
