Our judges this year again came from Creative Elements Inc., Frankfort, Ill., an ad agency representing such clients as Chicago Faucets and Halsey Taylor. The panel included Mike Deam, Joe Flaherty and Scott Hammond, owners of Creative Elements; Corrie Krippel, Scott Sriver and Hilary Vonesh, graphic designers at Creative Elements; and Shirley Pirko, Creative Elements' administrative assistant.
The judges initially selected a small group of finalists for each of the four categories, and from that point chose the following winners. (If your truck didn't win, don't worry; you may still see it in the pages of this magazine as a Truck Of The Month in future issues.)
