YC 2016 SUMMER COMPETITION RESULTS Reviewing and scoring has been completed by the judges. Before I share the results, I just want to say a few things: Firstly, I again want to congratulate all the entrants who participated. You guys really stepped up and submitted some wonderful entries! I also hope we can have this type of participation in future competitions! Secondly, I want to thank the judges for their time. I'm sure they would all agree with me when I say that it was really hard to pick a winner for this contest. Thirdly, and most importantly....all scores/reviews are highly subjective, as usual. If you have a problem, or need further clarification, please show good sportsmanship spirit and kindly ask individual judges instead of whining about it on a public forum.

@luderart Indeed, you were awarded 23.5, as you can see from the big table, which supersedes the score given in the individual reviews. I apologise if I'd left it as 22.5 in the individual reviews section.

Wow, a bronze medal!!!! Well done, Ken! It's just fitting that you've got the first price - your work was outstanding! Hopefully this will reaffirm your confidence and help your growth as a composer. Monarcheon's silver medal is nothing to frown about. The solo cello played the role of Hamlet as convincingly as any actor. Everyone else: great job! It's been a pleasure to have this many great pieces produced as a result of this competition. Looking forward for what all of you will show up next.

Johnbucket's Reviews and Scores: Johnbucket wrote really detailed reviews and explanations in a PDF document that I'm going to attach. We should all aspire to write reviews like him!
