Photo Contest Results Delay

I apologize for the delay in the posting of the 2009 Teen Photography Contest results.  I know many of  you are anxious to see the results.  The competition is tight with so many wonderful entries.  Our judge needs a little more time to make his final selections.  I hope to have the winners posted tomorrow.  Thank you for your patience.
