From the Desk of James Gurney

It was hard to choose, because there were so many fabulous drawings showing great instincts both for dinosaurs and mechanical engineering. I was pleased to see that in Division 2, girls won first and third places — based purely on objective merits.

The winners will receive a certificate, together with the calendar, poster, and footprint stamp. Second and third place winners will get a certificate with a map and footprint stamp.

There were also a dozen additional entrants in each of Division 2 and 3 that were so outstanding that I made a special "Honorable Mention" category for them. They will each receive a special certificate and a bookmark. Their names are:
