About this Award: This award is also called the "passion award". Each judge selects one piece after all other awards have been decided. The Judge's Choice 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 they fell outside other award categories.

Juror's Comments:
Traci: I react to it on a gut level and I like the new interpretation of the figural form as well as the firing method.
