We were fortunate enough to have Bill Bowers, the author of the article, be the judge, blow are his comments
"Although there can be only 3 winners there should be kudos to all those who endeavored at the busiest time of the year to turn such bodacious projects. Much contemplation as well as precious time went into the entries for the embellished icicle contest.
First place! Ed Kelle presents the best example of Shibui--a Japanese word with no English equivalent basically meaning simplistic eidetic with immense non-discernable complexity. The icicle bine is truely a twisted stem and the texturing adds to the inherent beauty of the completed piece. Ed Kelle's ornament is my choice for first place.

Second place goes to Gordon Seto's multi-axis turning. This piece projects tremendous adeptness of off-centered turning at a petite level.

Third place goes to Dutch for contrasting a twist within a pierced-through colored globe which embellishes the twisted icicle.
