Hello from snowy Syracuse! Wish you were here.
The SND37 Creative Competition is just starting to get rolling.
Judges are trickling into the hotel, snow is (of course) falling, temperatures are dropping and it’s looking like perfect weather to stay inside for the weekend.
We’re hoping the snow won’t be too deep that we can’t fit in a little sled race during a lunch break. Fingers crossed.
Today, entries were sorted into the proper categories and taken to the judging facility.
The last piles of entries were sorted and taken to the judging facility on Thursday.
Tomorrow, a team of judges will get a jump on one of the longer categories in one room, while the SND student session takes place across the hall. If you can’t make it to student session in person, it will be streamed live. There’s a great lineup of speakers, so tune in if you’re free.
Saturday the real work begins — judging more than 8,000 entries from all over the world. We’ll be live streaming, revealing winners and keeping everyone as up to date as possible. Keep up with us on twitter (@snd) and Facebook, too.
As expected, the blustery lake effect snow was falling on Thursday afternoon, just in time to delay a flight or two.
I’ll be posting every evening with a few thoughts from the day. Enjoy it from the comfort of your desk, while the rest of us are pummeled by the snow.
– Andrea Zagata, 37th Edition Coordinator.
