About this Award: This award recognizes commitment to excellence among returning artists to SWIAF. Any media is eligible.

Jurors' Comments:
Ramson: The use of natural wood really stood out. It's a traditional image that is done in a different way - there's a balance of traditional symbolism with individual creativity.
Shonto: I see this artist's work in a lot of shows I go to - this is one of those artists that pretty much define passion. I recognized the artist's work and it's very supportive for me as an artist to see other artists with this passion. His passion is inspiring.
Jennifer: (of the Runner Up, Bracelet) This shows a good selection of stone, elegant simple composition and interesting blending of surface finish.
