Congratulations to all of the winners! I hope you enjoy your well-earned entry to DEF CON 31.

To the rest as almost winners that submitted stories for this contest, keep practicing your art and skill; you can get better!

Thanks to the judges and people running this content for taking the time to read the stories and judge this contest. I can imagine writers hired to create instruction manuals, tech manuals, or ads or other content for corporations seeing this contest as a way to have more freedom to be more creative. They would not have the opportunity to possibly be recognized at DEF CON for writing without it.

Cheers to all. :-)
