The three judge panel consisted of Carol Galladian, assistant director of Orientation and Commuter Student Involvement; Mike Prociuk, assistant director of Intramural Sports and Special Events; and Desmond Daniels, area coordinator of FFV/CLC. The judges scored the acts based on originality, creativity, crowd reaction, energy, dress, use of time and overall performance. Because of the quality of the talent this year, the top 6 acts were selected to perform in the final round the second day. The top 6 included Riff Tides (acapella singing group), Sharkettes (modern dance team) , World Crew (multi-cultural dance team), Signing Sharks (Song in Sign Language), Lambda Theta Phi (Piano, Song and Dance) and Urban Renaissance (Powerful singing). The top three winning performances walked away with money for their respective student organizations.
