Jovencio de la Paz (of Gresham, Ore.) Josh Faught (of Eugene), and Jenny Heishman, Sean Johnson, and Matthew Offenbacher of Seattle are in the running for a grand prize of $15,000 and two runner-up awards of $2,500. I’d say Offenbacher and Heishman are the ones to beat.

THE THINGS I WOULD DO TO 15 K.

I love-love-love that first piece.
