116 FIRST PLACES!

My personal web-site has got hopelessly out of date but I've just updated the page showing Boot Camp First Places


There may well be more than the 116 I'm showing, but that'll have to do for now.

I'll shortly fill in the gaps (titles of winning stories etc)

I don't know the total figures for prizes won (including 2nds/3rds etc)
but Boot Campers have now won well in excess of $60,000


SIXTY THOUSAND DOLLARS
