JUDGING DETAILS:
The judging process is complete. Meet Our Judges>
The initial winning entries were determined. Those entrants were contacted by email, in order of category priority, to get their response within 7 days, as noted in the rules. The Grand Prize winner responded immediately.
Unfortunately, some did not respond to their email, as required. So after the 7 days we moved on to the next person who achieved the next best judging points, and notified them.
There were several assessments that calculated into the judging points, including the photo itself, the judges' opinions, the description given with the photo & title, the social response of others to the photo, & the final decisions at Tombstone Travel Tips.

A Wild Hog Trip to Tombstone!
From Gerry of Downers Grove, Illinois - Awaiting ConfirmationCategory: Funniest Photo
Each of our judges individually chose amongst all the photos, that which was the Funniest Photo. Assessing "funny" was per their own definition: did it amuse them, make them smile, was it ridiculous-funny, was it odd-funny, was it ironic-funny, was it weird-funny, was it out-of-place funny, etc.
I think you could tell that these photos were definitely in the definition of making them smile = so cute funny!
Funniest!

The Oriental Saloon is a terrific famed spot in Tombstone. Now referred to as Wyatt Earp's Oriental Saloon, it's located on that same historic Northeast corner - 5th & Allen. We had two judges from this establishment!

Johnny Ringo's Saloon, attached just North of the Depot Steakhouse, is where we had two volunteers! Addie is co-owner, along with her husband, Steve. Addie is there nearly every day, keeping things in order, tending bar and so much more. She generously gave her time to do a little judging for us! You've gotta drop in to see them. Get the best pizza in town at Ringo's. And some fantastic food in their Depot restaurant & steak-house.

We thought of this contest when we had traveled to the historic Parker Ranch in Hawaii this past spring. And we'd also checked out a Local Guest "Dude Ranch" here in the Tombstone, Arizona. Those trips inspired us to see what other people have done in that same basic theme.
Contest entries were allowed Up To Four different, authentically created photos. Some chose four. Some less, some only sent one. But whatever contribution anyone made - they were in the running to be a prize-winner!
Some got their family and friends in on the fun. They had them get on-line to see their photos, to put in a good word, a good comment about their photo. That had some influence on the scoring.
