First-round judging results

Our judges narrowed 230 submissions down to 26. These 26 will be judged live on February 21 in New York City. This event will be also be live-streamed. Audience members, both in person and online, can prod the judges with questions as they make their decisions.
This narrowing to 26 took place during two separate 5-hour sessions. Our first-round judges were Anthony Goicolea, Tribble & Mancenido, and JJ Sulin. JJ Sulin was not present for the second of these two sessions. After evaluating every submission, 39 entries were forwarded.
As our final-round judges (Arnold Lehman, Susan Bright, and Amy Stein) asked to be sent no more than 25 submissions, Anthony Goicolea and Tribble & Mancenido gave each of these 39 submissions a simple rating, on a scale of 0 to 10. Based on those ratings, the following submissions will be considered in the final round (with their combined rating in parentheses, although this number won’t matter in the final round).
