Judges will be a combination of those Coastwalkers who walked the entire coast of California in the 2003 Coastal Expedition, plus some selected film enthusiasts from the San Francisco and San Diego Bay areas. Changes in rankings will be made during the month of July, and final standings will be announced in mid- August.
