Sling Slam 2024 was a big success.. The skills in this community are astonishing, and this contest continues to push the limits with talented contenders from around the world showing up and presenting the state of the art. It's pretty incredible to see how far things have come since we first started running the contest back in 2019. But what really makes the event so incredible is the broad participation of members of the community showing up, supporting one another through views, likes, and comments, and contributing themselves to the overall event. This year we once again had record participation numbers, including a ton of first-time posters, which is always awesome to see.
I want to give a special thanks to our judges for this year, who volunteered their time to carefully go through all the entries, giving each thorough consideration before shortlisting and carefully scoring the top entries. This takes a lot of time and psychic energy, so let' send a bit of love to our pals:
In order to facilitate entries via platforms other than Instagram this year, and to make sure we don't miss entries that fall through the cracks of the IG hashtag handling, Rusty was good enough to create an optional online form this year for folks to log their entries. The consolidated results and summary of winners can be found on these sheets here. Your champions for 2024 are listed below.
