Judges
Together the hand picked jury will pick the top 10. They are a mix of JavaScripters and demo sceners.
Jan Krutisch
Jan, aka halfbyte is a freelance web developer with roots in the demo scene and probably best known for his web audio work. His status has lately been updated to "greybeard".
@halfbyte jan.krutisch.deJoshua Koo
Software engineering in Zopim / Zendesk by day, random coding at night. Organizer of Singapore Creative Coding Meetups. Loves JS, wacky ideas and adventure.
@blurspline joshuakoo.comBrian Leroux
A web hacker best known for his work on Adobe PhoneGap and later Apache Cordova. These days he's exploring the emergent bot space which are really just freaky web services. (The freaky part is that we can build web services with javascript and we no longer need servers.) He loves JS, despite giving him so many reasons to feel otherwise, and with a few friends collects those special edges in a little blog called wtfjs. You can find him around the usual developer-y places
