Wow. I have been involved with the Online Challenge program since 2009, and this year blew me away. The number of total entries nearly doubled from 2015 to 2016, and the quality continues to improve every year. The judges have more work to do, and I receive lots of judge comments that this is getting to be difficult, because of the number of great entries.
With that, we are pleased to announce the winners of the REC Foundation’s 2016 Online Challenges:
