There were three judges to give their feedback after each presentation American Idol style (there was no Simon thankfully).  Followed up by a voting session, where the people in attendance chose the winner.

And the first winner… Eric McCarty for FellowTip.  Yeah that guy who locked himself in his garage for 9 days in July.

Keep checking www.willthisfloat.com for details on upcoming events… so get those ideas ready.
