Countdown

We're through approximately 10,000 of the 13,862 entries. The small paper judges are making their way through the news categories (3), the graphics and features judges are doing portfolios, the long-form judges are in special coverage/sections with ads (10A.b). The news judges just finished sports portfolios and are in the middle of chipping category 19, Miscellaneous.

Should be here for another hour or two before we call it a night and retire to the hotel for a night of karaoke.

Above, news facilitators Luke Knox, Ben Ramsden and Ryan Ford separate chips following the uncupping of a category.
