Description: Handwoven rug. About this Award: This award is also called the "passion award". The Judge's Awards are designed to bring recognition to a work that each judge, independently, feels is outstanding. These pieces may have been overlooked due to the limited number of awards or because it falls outside other award categories. Juror's Comments: Gerard chose this work for special recognition citing its univform weave and pliability as well as the beauty of the colors and the innovative composition. He was particularly impressed with the difficulty of the designs done on the bias.
