This was a great game with many excellent approaches to the theme "Expanding horizons".
Thank you Lorinda, because you once again led us through the competition.
And thank you Chris, because you give us a place and a voice on the web.

Well done Mike; you had a great story and told it well. Congrats to the Runners up Markus & Paul; all 3 were great films using the theme in vastly different ways. See you all next round!

My congratulations to Mike, Markus and Paul for great films.

Wow! This is such a thrill because all of the videos are so very good this round. Congratulations to Markus and Paul. Thank-you Chris Hurd. I hope you know how much we all love this place. Many thanks to Lorinda. Wrangling UWOLers must be like herding cats. We had a good turn out for UC25 but we can do even better in June. I hope to see you all, and many more, again then. Best wishes all.

By the way, I now realize that the thing my Samurai has been missing all along is a classy DVInfo stylus. Woo-hoo!
