You know, long before State and National awards entries are viewed by the judging panel there's an enormous amount of ground work that goes on. ACS would like to thank National Judging Coordinator Marcus Hides along with NSW members Sidat de Silva, Aleksei Vanamois and Tom Gleeson for their efforts in collecting and collating all of the many entries received both last year for the NSW/ACT Awards and this year for the Nationals. Also, a special thank you to Adam Eden of NSW sponsor Eden Creative Media for his time and use of his facilities in transcoding many of these entries. VALE Keith Taylor ACS (1927 - 2012)
