What a day! I’ll have a full recap — and pictures — up tomorrow, but in the mean time, here are the winners:

Congratulations to all the winners, and to everyone who entered! It honestly was the best Guac Bowl ever. Like I said during the trophy presentation, it blows my mind that every one of the entries this year was creative enough that it would have won Best Presentation just a few years ago. You people continue to out-do yourselves. Amazing.
